Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 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 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 are fine.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full. If adding mix-ins like 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 with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or dip in honey for extra sweetness. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious pancake poppers!
Notes
- For buttermilk substitute, use regular milk with 1 teaspoon of vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancake poppers light and fluffy.
- You can customize by adding other mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit.
- These poppers are best served fresh but can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven or toaster oven to retain crispness.
