Step 6

In a large skillet, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil or butter over low-medium heat. Squeeze mini circles of batter about the size of small coins. For slightly larger pancakes (about the size of a quarter), it may be easier to form each circle with a spiraling motion.

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancakes form bubbles and set around the edges. Flip with a spatula and then cook for another 2 minutes. A mini spatula may be useful for this step.

Tip

You'll likely need to work in batches. To speed up the process, fry the pancakes on multiple pans at once. Just be sure to keep an eye on each batch.

Step 7

Once they are golden brown and fluffy, the mini pancakes are ready to eat. Transfer them to a bowl and add milk if desired. Keep in mind that milk will make the pancakes soggy if they sit for too long, so you'll want to eat them immediately.
