Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning agents.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined to keep the batter light and fluffy without overworking the gluten.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon or scoop the batter into the greased mini muffin pan cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the poppers turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pancake poppers to cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm with syrup or your favorite toppings for a delightful breakfast bite.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancake poppers light and fluffy.
- If you don’t have a mini muffin pan, regular muffin tins can be used, though baking time may increase slightly.
- For an extra touch, add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter before baking.
- These poppers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
