Ingredients

Dry ingredients

  • 1 cup flour more if needed for thicker pancakes
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet ingredients

  • ¾ cup sourdough discard active will also work
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • optional lemon juice

Instructions

Mix the batter

  • In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  • Then mix the wet ingredients until smooth.
  • Combine everything to form a smooth pancake batter and allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes during the batter rest.

Heat your pan

  • Warm a non-stick skillet, frying pan, or electric griddle over medium heat or medium-low heat.
  • Add a little butter to the hot pan.

Pipe the tiny pancakes

  • Transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle.
  • Use it to pipe round pancakes about the size ½ inch circle.
  • Cook until bubbles form and flip when the bottoms are golden brown.

Cook in batches

  • Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet while finishing the rest of the batch.

  • If you prefer larger pancakes, you can simply make regular pancakes instead.

Notes

The most important thing when making mini pancake bites is to keep the heat controlled.
  • Cook over medium heat or medium-low heat
  • Avoid high heat
  • Make sure the pan is evenly heated
  • You can also stir in chocolate chips or sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top for different flavors.
  • Letting the batter sit for a short batter rest helps create a softer pancake texture.
