Ingredients

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup (177 ml) buttermilk plus extra as needed
  • 2 tablespoon cooled melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • oil or butter for cooking

Instructions

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Then mix in buttermilk, cooled butter, egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Make sure to mix until lumps are gone but avoid overmixing.
  • Adjust batter as needed, if too runny add a little extra sifted flour, if too thick then add an extra tablespoon of buttermilk at a time.
  • Leave the batter to sit for 5 minutes and then transfer to a Ziploc bag and cut a small hole for pipping.
  • Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan. Once it is hot, switch off the heat and pipe the batter into small circles making sure to leave space between pancake batter.
  • When done switch on the heat again and cook pancakes.
  • Once the pancakes are a golden brown, flip them over and cook the other side till done. Remove and set aside somewhere warm.
  • Repeat until all the batter is done.

Notes

  • Adjust the consistency by adding milk or flour as needed. If too thick, it will be impossible to pipe it out. If too thin, it will be runny and the mini pancakes will just blend together to become one big pancake.
  • Use a squeeze bottle or a ziplock bag with a small hole to pipe the batter into the pan.
  • Make sure to pipe the pancakes a little bit smaller than you want them to end up since they will spread a little bit more during cooking.
  • Do leave some space between batter circles so they don’t just become one big pancake. 
  • I use a wooden spoon or wooden skewers to turn these over, but you can also use chopsticks or a flat turner or spatula.
  • These cook very fast and they could burn whilst you are piping them out. To avoid this, heat up the pan then switch off the heat before piping out the batter. When done turn the heat back up to continue cooking.
  • Wait until you see bubbles forming on the surface of the pancakes before flipping.
  • Store them in the oven on low heat to keep warm while cooking the rest of the batter.
  • There are 8 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
