# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 3/4 cup whole milk
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ To Serve
10 - Maple syrup, honey, or milk
11 - Fresh berries or sliced banana (optional)
# Method:
01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
04 - Transfer batter to a piping bag, squeeze bottle, or use a teaspoon for portioning.
05 - Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
06 - Pipe or drop small dots of batter, approximately 1/2 inch in diameter, onto the pan, ensuring slight separation between each.
07 - Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set, then carefully flip with a spatula or chopstick and cook an additional 1 minute until golden brown.
08 - Continue with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed to prevent sticking.
09 - Divide mini pancakes among bowls. Pour milk over for a cereal-style presentation, or drizzle with syrup and garnish with fresh berries or banana slices as desired.
