Description

Delectable easy pancake poppers bring breakfast joy to morning tables. Crisp exterior and fluffy interior make these bite-sized treats irresistible for you.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tsp vinegar)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsps melted butter or oil
  • 2 tbsps sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • Blueberries (optional)
  • Chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Calibrate oven to 190°C (375°F) with rack centrally positioned for uniform heat distribution.
  2. Setup: Thoroughly lubricate mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or insert delicate paper liners to prevent adhesion.
  3. Dry Mixture: Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a spacious mixing vessel until perfectly integrated.
  4. Wet Integration: Form a crater in dry ingredients, introducing milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then tenderly amalgamate until just combined without excessive stirring.
  5. Flavor Enhancement: Optionally incorporate chocolate chips, blueberries, or diced bananas into the homogeneous batter for textural intrigue.
  6. Portioning: Employ a compact cookie scoop to distribute batter, filling each cavity approximately three-quarters full with precision.
  7. Baking Process: Slide the tin into preheated oven, roasting for 10-12 minutes until poppers transform into golden-kissed morsels and a toothpick emerges immaculately clean.
  8. Cooling Technique: Allow poppers to rest within the tin for 5 minutes, then delicately transfer to a wire rack for complete temperature stabilization.
  9. Presentation: Serve these delectable miniature delights accompanied by maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a preferred complementary dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Prevent Overmixing: Stir batter gently and briefly to keep poppers light and fluffy, stopping as soon as ingredients are just combined to avoid tough texture.
  • Control Moisture: Use room temperature eggs and milk to ensure even batter consistency and prevent dense, heavy poppers that lack airiness.
  • Customize Flavors: Experiment with add-ins like mini chocolate chips, fresh berries, or chopped nuts, but limit additions to 1/2 cup to maintain batter structure.
  • Achieve Perfect Browning: Fill muffin cavities only 3/4 full and watch closely during baking to prevent burning, rotating pan midway for even golden color.
