Bite-Sized Pancake Poppers (Print version)

Golden mini pancakes with fluffy centers, ready in 25 minutes. Perfect for dipping and sharing.

# What you'll need:

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour

02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder

04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

06 - 3/4 cup buttermilk

07 - 1 large egg

08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

10 - 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

11 - 1/4 cup blueberries

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with melted butter or nonstick spray.

02 - Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until well blended.

03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are acceptable.

05 - Gently fold in chocolate chips or blueberries if desired.

06 - Spoon batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

07 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

08 - Let cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then carefully remove poppers. Serve warm with maple syrup, melted chocolate, or fruit preserves.

01 -

Everything you love about fluffy pancakes but in bite-sized form you can pop straight into your mouth
The edges get perfectly crisp while the centers stay impossibly tender
Ready in under 30 minutes with ingredients you already have in your pantry

02 -

Overmixing the batter creates tough, chewy poppers instead of light and fluffy ones
Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly and create better texture
Letting them cool too long in the tin makes them steam and lose that crisp exterior
