Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 125 ml milk (or dairy free alternative)
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 140 g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • pinch salt

For Cooking

  • Butter or dairy free spread for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare Wet Ingredients: Lightly whisk the egg, then mix it with milk, vegetable oil, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until combined.
  2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, measure out the self-raising flour and baking powder, then sift them together along with a pinch of salt.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and lightly whisk together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Rest Batter: Spoon the pancake batter into a sauce bottle or piping bag (or leave it in the bowl if using a spoon) and let it rest for 5 minutes while heating the pan.
  5. Heat the Pan: Place a pan over medium heat and add butter or dairy free spread, swirling it around until melted and evenly coating the surface.
  6. Form Mini Pancakes: Pipe or spoon small circles of batter onto the pan, spacing them sufficiently to allow flipping.
  7. Cook First Side: Let the tiny pancakes cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, usually about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Flip and Cook Second Side: Using a palette knife or spatula, carefully flip each mini pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Finish Cooking: Remove cooked pancakes from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.
  10. Serve: Divide the mini pancakes into cereal bowls and drizzle with extra maple syrup before serving.

Notes

  • Using a sauce bottle or piping bag helps create uniform mini pancakes easily.
  • A palette knife works better than a spatula for flipping tiny pancakes.
  • You can substitute milk for any dairy-free alternative to suit dietary needs.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey, agave, or your favorite sweetener.
  • Serve with fresh fruit or yogurt for a more complete breakfast.
