For a fun take on breakfast, make Mini Pancake Cereal, a dish that first gained popularity on the video app TikTok. It’s exactly what it sounds like — tiny pancakes that you can douse in milk and eat with a spoon or eat with maple syrup and a fork. Use a pastry bag or squirt bottle to get the precise shape and size for extra cuteness. Mini Pancake Cereal is a spoonful of delight that will put some pizazz in your morning.
Ingredients
- For the mini pancakes:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup milk, plus more, to taste
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus more, to taste
- Optional, for serving:
- maple syrup, to taste
- assorted fruit, to taste
- honey, to taste
Directions
Step 1 -Combine the sugar, the flour, the salt, and the baking powder in a large bowl.
Step 2 -Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add 3/4 cup of the milk, the egg, the vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of the butter.
Step 3 -Whisk the wet ingredients together before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; it should still have tiny lumps for maximum fluffiness.
Step 4 -Add 1-2 additional tablespoons of the extra milk as needed to slightly thin out the batter.
Step 5 -Allow your pancake batter to sit for 5 minutes while heating a griddle or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the griddle or pan with the extra butter.
Step 6 -Pour the pancake batter into a squeezable sauce or condiment bottle. If using a gallon-size plastic bag, cut a small hole in the bottom corner at an angle.
Step 7 -Squeeze small dots of the batter onto the hot and greased pan.
Step 8 -Cook until the tops of the pancakes form bubbles and look dry and set.
Step 9 -Flip the mini pancakes over with a spatula and cook for 1-2 minutes until the undersides are golden.
Step 10 -Repeat that process with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan with more of the extra butter between each batch.
Step 11 -Serve with the maple syrup, the assorted fruit, and the honey!
