# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 3/4 cup whole milk
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ To Serve
10 - Maple syrup or honey
11 - Fresh berries (optional)
12 - A pat of butter (optional)
# Directions:
01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogeneous.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined; some lumps are acceptable to maintain lightness.
04 - Transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag for precise dispensing.
05 - Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter.
06 - Pipe small dots of batter approximately half an inch wide onto the skillet, spacing them slightly apart.
07 - Allow the mini pancakes to cook 1 to 2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the undersides turn golden brown.
08 - Flip each mini pancake with a spatula or fork and cook an additional 1 minute until the second side is golden brown.
09 - Transfer cooked mini pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with remaining batter. Serve warm topped with maple syrup, fresh berries, and butter if desired, using a spoon for the cereal-style experience.
