Equipment

  • 2 medium bowls
  • 1 tablespoon or small cookie scoop
  • 1 large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoons salt
  • 1 eggs
  • cup (halfway between ¾ a0nd 1 cup) milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted and slightly cooled butter
  • ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoons cinnamon optional
  • 1-2 teaspoons butter for frying

Instructions
 

  • In the first bowl, whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour , 1 tablespoon granulated sugar , 1.5 teaspoons baking powder , ¼ teaspoons salt , ¼ teaspoons cinnamon
  • In the second bowl, whisk 1 eggs , ⅞ cup (halfway between ¾ a0nd 1 cup) milk and ½ teaspoons vanilla extract .
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, whisking them until combined. Pour in 2 tablespoons melted and slightly cooled butter into the batter, continuously whisking it so the butter does not solidify. But if you see a few butter lumps appear, it is OK. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • In a large skillet, heat about 1 teaspoon of butter over medium heat. Using a table measuring spoon, scoop out the pancake batter and add it to the hot pan. Add about 4-5 more pancakes, depending on the size of your skillet.
  • Cook on one side for about 60-90 seconds, until you see small bubbles on top and the edges brown. Flip the pancakes and cook them on the second side for another minute. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. You will have about 30 mini pancakes.
