Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Griddle: Preheat your griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray it with non-stick cooking spray if needed to ensure your pancakes do not stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Whisk all together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Prepare Batter for Squeezing: Transfer the batter to a plastic squeeze bottle or piping bag, which allows you to control the size of the mini pancakes perfectly.
  5. Form Mini Pancakes: Squeeze out tiny dollops of batter onto the preheated griddle. Each should be about the size of a dime to create the signature pancake cereal.
  6. Cook Pancakes: Cook the mini pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms turn golden brown and bubbles begin to form on the surface. Then carefully flip them and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  7. Repeat: Continue the process with the remaining batter, making sure to maintain the small pancake size.
  8. Serve: Remove the pancake cereal from the griddle and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, or fresh fruit for a delicious breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Using a squeeze bottle helps control the size and shape of the mini pancakes easily.
  • Make sure the griddle is properly preheated to avoid sticking and to get even browning.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed fresh as the pancakes may lose their fluffiness if stored.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
  • Add vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor if desired.
