🛒 Ingredients

For the Fluffy Pancake Batter

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¾ cup milk (whole milk or buttermilk)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking)

Optional Add-ins

• ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or blueberries
• Cinnamon for warmth
• Powdered sugar or maple syrup for serving

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter:
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Mix It Up:
   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently whisk until just combined. Avoid overmixing — a few small lumps are fine.
4. Preheat Your Pan:
   Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add a small pat of butter.
5. Cook and Scramble:
   Pour the batter into the skillet as if making one large pancake. Let it cook until bubbles appear and the edges start to set. Then, using a spatula, gently “scramble” the pancake — breaking it into bite-sized chunks as it continues to cook. Toss lightly until all sides are golden and the bites are fluffy inside.
6. Serve Warm:
   Pile your scrambled pancake bites into a bowl, dust with powdered sugar, and drizzle with syrup. Add fresh berries or chocolate chips for extra indulgence.

🌿 Tips for Perfect Fluffy Pancake Bites

• Low Heat = Fluffiness: Keep the skillet at medium-low so the bites cook through without burning.
• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing develops gluten and makes the pancakes dense.
• Use Fresh Baking Powder: Old leaveners lead to flat, sad bites.
• Butter for Flavor: Real butter gives that irresistible golden edge and flavor boost.
