These mini pancakes are fluffy, bite-sized breakfast treats perfect for sleepovers and busy mornings. They feature whipped egg whites for extra fluffiness and a hint of vanilla for a sweet, buttery flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk (whole milk preferred, almond or oat milk as substitute)
  • 1 large egg, separated
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • Optional toppings and add-ins: fresh berries or sliced bananas, maple syrup or honey, powdered sugar for dusting, chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, whisk milk, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the egg white to soft peaks.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; lumps are okay.
  5. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula to keep air in the mixture.
  6. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and brush with melted butter or spray lightly with cooking spray.
  7. Using a teaspoon or small ladle, drop batter onto the pan in small rounds about 1 ½ inches wide, leaving space between.
  8. Cook 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  9. Flip each mini pancake carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  10. Serve warm with desired toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, or powdered sugar.

Notes

Whipping egg whites separately is key for fluffiness. Use medium-low heat to avoid burning. Do not overmix batter to keep pancakes tender. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F) if cooking in batches. For vegan or gluten-free adaptations, see variations.
