Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl and gently stir until just blended. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cavities, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake the Poppers: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the pancake poppers cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancake poppers tender and fluffy.
- You can add mini chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for variation.
- Serve with syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt for a complete breakfast.
- These poppers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in a microwave or oven.
