  • 1 squeeze bottle or piping bag for piping mini pancakes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • Transfer batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag.

Notes

  • Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Add chocolate chips immediately after piping for a chocolaty twist.
  • Cook longer for crispier edges and deeper golden color.
  • Serve with cold milk for an authentic cereal experience.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
