How To Make Mini Pancakes
STEP 1: Whisk eggs for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients.
Use a hand mixer to create a thick batter.
STEP 2: Transfer the batter to a squeeze bottle or piping bag with a small opening.
Heat a nonstick pan on medium-low, brush with coconut oil or you can also use butter, olive oil.
STEP 3: Pipe small pancakes onto the pan, cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form.
Flip and cook for another 10-15 seconds.
SERVE! Serve the mini pancakes with butter, maple syrup, jam, or honey, and top with your favorite toppings!
Keep Batches Warm
- When cooking in batches, keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven on an open casserole dish or sheet pan, ready to be served with toppings at the table.
Tips For The Best Mini Pancakes
- Avoid overworking the batter - otherwise, your pancakes won't end up with tender pancakes. Mix until just combined.
- Doneness - Once you observe bubbles forming and popping on the pancake's surface, it's time to flip.
- Medium heat - Opt for medium heat when cooking. It may take a bit longer, but the outcomes are superior, especially when using a non-stick skillet.
- Weigh your ingredients for a light, fluffy texture; too much flour results in dense pancakes.
- Additions - When adding extras like blueberries or chocolate chips, incorporate them directly into the pancakes in the skillet to avoid burning on the pan.
- Cook these mini pancakes in a non-stick pan with just a little coconut oil for a lovely golden brown exterior.
Toppings For Pancake Cereal
- Fresh fruit and berries
- Pomegranate seeds
- Chocolate chips
- Strawberry Rhubarb Jam
- Pumpkin Jam
- Berry Banana Jam
- Berry Sauce
Freezing And Storing Instructions
- To Store. In an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Alternatively, prepare the batter and refrigerate it (covered with cling film) for up to 2 days; just stir before portioning if making the batter in advance.
- To Freeze. Cool cooked pancakes, wrap tightly in cling film, and freeze for up to 3 months.
- To Reheat. Thaw frozen pancakes before reheating. Warm in the oven at low to moderate heat for extended breakfasts or when serving a group.
- Microwave. For a single serving, heat in the microwave for approximately 20-30 seconds.
