Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of milk, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly. Add the milk and melted butter to the egg, and whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you’re using a non-stick waffle iron, you may not need to grease it, but if you’re unsure, lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
- Once the waffle iron is preheated, pour a small amount of batter onto the center of the iron. Use about 2-3 tablespoons of batter for each silver dollar pancake. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically about 3-5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
- Carefully remove the cooked waffle pancakes from the iron using a fork or tongs. Place them on a plate and keep them warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the silver dollar waffle pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips
- Don't overmix your batter! Lumpy batter is actually your friend - it ensures tender, fluffy pancakes.
- Let your batter rest for 2-3 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
- Use a ladle or small measuring cup for consistent, perfectly sized mini pancakes.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven (200°F) while preparing the rest.
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of vanilla extract or cinnamon to your batter.
- Clean your waffle iron immediately after cooking to prevent stuck-on batter and ensure easy cleanup.
- Experiment with toppings - from classic maple syrup to fresh berries or even a chocolate drizzle!
