Recipe: Fast And Fluffy Mini Pancakes Kids Can’t Stop Craving!

Mini pancakes, which are well-known across the globe, are actually a Dutch sweet delight called Poffertjes. While regular pancakes and mini pancakes are similar, they mainly differ in size.

Children's love for mini pancakes is remarkable due to their cute size, delicious taste, colourful toppings and soft texture.

If you're having second thoughts about whether mini pancakes are a good choice for your kids' diet, worry less. With the right nutrition and toppings, they can be as healthy as any meal, especially if your kids enjoy them.

Kids-approved mini pancakes 

Ingredients

• 1 cup -120 gm - all purpose plain flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
• 2½ teaspoons baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• ⅔ cup - 160 ml - whole milk
• 1 large egg at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons - 30 grams - melted unsalted butter
• Extra butter for cooking

Instructions

• To make the batter, in a bowl whisk together all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder.
• In another bowl or jug whisk together whole milk, egg and melted butter.
• Whisk milk/egg mixture into dry ingredients until just combined. You may need to add a little more milk if the batter is too thick.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle pan over medium-low heat. Grease with a little butter. I prefer only a minimum amount of butter.
• Drop a small amount of batter (approx 2-3 teaspoons) from a spoon onto the heated pan. Mini pancakes should be no larger than 2 inches or 5 cm.
• Cook for about 45 seconds or until a few bubbles form and pop on the surface. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown about the same as the first side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm until all the batter is cooked.
