Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin pan to prevent the pancake poppers from sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, whisking them together to evenly distribute all the dry components.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-mixed.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined to maintain a light batter without overmixing.
  5. Fill muffin pan: Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each cup of the prepared mini muffin pan about two-thirds full with the batter.
  6. Bake the poppers: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Serve warm: Let the pancake poppers cool slightly in the pan before removing. Serve warm with syrup for dipping and enjoy a delightful breakfast bite.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the poppers fluffy.
  • You can add mini chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for variety.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a microwave or oven.
  • Greasing the pan well is important to prevent sticking.
  • These poppers are best served fresh but can be frozen and reheated later.
