Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup buttermilk (or regular milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Optional Mix-ins
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or blueberries
For Serving
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or honey
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; some lumps in the batter are fine.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full. If using chocolate chips or blueberries, drop them into each cup before baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.
- Serve and Enjoy: Dust the pancake poppers with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or dip in honey for extra sweetness. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use buttermilk for a tangier, more tender pancake; regular milk with vinegar is a suitable substitute.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Mini muffin tins can vary in size; adjust the baking time if necessary.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit.
- Store leftover poppers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, and reheat gently before serving.
