Description

Delightful mini pancakes showcase a delectable breakfast treat from Switzerland. Bite-sized and golden, they promise a sweet morning experience you’ll savor with each delicate morsel.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsps (30 ml / 1 fl oz) butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsps (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (5 g) baking powder
  • ½ tsp (2.5 g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3 g) salt

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Assemble cooking apparatus including griddle or skillet, whisking bowl, and measuring implements. Preheat cooking surface to medium warmth for consistent heat distribution.
  2. Dry Mixture: Thoroughly blend flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, ensuring a homogeneous powder foundation for the pancakes.
  3. Batter Formation: Excavate a central cavity in the dry ingredients, then introduce buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk with precision to eliminate lumps, creating a silky, uniform batter with a smooth consistency.
  4. Cooking Process: Utilize a batter dispenser or spoon to deposit petite, uniform batter portions onto the heated surface. Monitor for bubble formation across the pancake’s surface, which signals the critical moment for careful flipping.
  5. Finishing Touch: Rotate mini pancakes, cooking the reverse side until a delicate golden-brown hue emerges. This indicates perfect doneness and a crisp, delectable exterior. Transfer immediately to a serving plate, preserving optimal temperature and texture for immediate indulgence.

Notes

  • Prep Surface Strategically: Use a well-seasoned non-stick griddle or skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy pancake release.
  • Control Batter Consistency: Aim for a smooth, pourable batter without lumps; overmixing can lead to tough, dense pancakes.
  • Master Bubble Timing: Wait for small bubbles to form evenly across the surface before flipping, which typically takes about 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
  • Maintain Uniform Size: Use a squeeze bottle, batter dispenser, or consistent spoon measurement to create perfectly sized mini pancakes for even cooking.
