Instructions

Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or cooking spray. Pour small amounts of batter (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the skillet.

Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve

Remove the pancake poppers from the skillet and serve warm with maple syrup and your choice of toppings.

Enjoy these delicious bites with friends and family!

Tips for Perfect Pancake Poppers

To achieve the fluffiest Mini Pancake Poppers, be careful not to overmix the batter. Stir just until the ingredients are combined; a few small lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing can lead to denser pancakes, which is not what you want for these delightful bites.

Another tip is to ensure your skillet is at the right temperature. If the heat is too low, the pancakes will take longer to cook and may become dry. Conversely, if it's too hot, they might burn before cooking through. A medium heat is ideal for achieving that perfect golden brown color.

Storing and Reheating

If you happen to have leftover Mini Pancake Poppers, storing them is simple! Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. If you want to keep them for a longer period, consider freezing them. Layer the pancake poppers between sheets of parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag to prevent sticking.

When you're ready to enjoy them again, reheating is a breeze. You can pop them in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or reheat them on a skillet for a couple of minutes. This way, you can savor the warm, fluffy goodness of pancake poppers even on busy days!
