MIni Pancakes for My Mini

Once a week, on whatever version of Sunday I get, I try to make it a point to make My Mini-Man some Mini Pancakes - perfect for his Mini-Hands.  Well, you get the idea.  Today's were officially pre-Valentine's Day pancakes thanks to my Pop back in the Lou, who sent me a GORGEOUS bouquet of Red Roses - Thanks Dad!

Here is a great recipe for wee munchkin pancakes any kid and adult will love.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (I used 1/2 cup whole wheat and 1 cup all-purpose flour; the batter is thicker but makes for fluffy pancakes none the less)

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

2 large eggs

4 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted - plus more for cooking

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

makes at least! 12 mini pancakes


1 - in a bowl, stir together dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt)

2 - in a separate bowl, or in my case - glass measuring cup, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla

3 - incorporate dry and wet ingredients using a whisk or wooden spoon (the batter will be lumpy - this is a good thing)

4 - heat skillet over moderate heat with extra butter for cooking.  Dollop about a tablespoon of the batter into the pan.  I can usually fit 4-6 pancakes in a pan at a time.  Cook on both sides about 2 minutes (I am more 2 minutes on first, 1 on the second).

For topping I just throw some blueberries in a sauce pan and kick up the heat until it creates a syrup.  I love the bite, but to sweeten it up a bit feel free to throw in some maple syrup, honey, cane sugar and/or vanilla!  Get creative and start dipping.

YUM!
