Recipe: Fluffy Homemade Pancake Bites
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar/lemon juice)
- 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined. Avoid overmixing; some lumps are fine.
- Heat the Pan:
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancake Bites:
- Pour small dollops of batter (about 2-3 inches in diameter) onto the skillet using a spoon or a piping bag.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip gently with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve:
- Remove the pancake bites from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil, if necessary.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, honey, fruit compote, or powdered sugar.
These pancake bites are great for on-the-go breakfasts or weekend treats. Customize them by adding chocolate chips, blueberries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter. Enjoy!
