- Diet: Gluten Free (if using gluten-free flour)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for cooking
Fillings (Choose Your Favorites)
- Fresh fruits such as berries and banana slices
- Cream cheese
- Scrambled eggs
- Cheddar cheese
- Crispy bacon
- Avocado and sautéed vegetables (vegan option)
- Peanut butter or almond butter
- Chocolate chips or Nutella
- Prepare the Pancake Batter: Whisk together all dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and sugar—in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing just until combined; some lumps are okay to ensure tender pancakes.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour 2–3 tablespoons of batter per mini pancake (about 3-4 inches diameter). Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep them warm, covered loosely.
- Assemble the Pancake Tacos: While pancakes are still warm, gently fold each in half to form a taco shell. Immediately fill with your choice of sweet or savory fillings to prevent cracking. Press edges lightly to secure, or serve open-faced for easy handling.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Use a small spoon or cookie scoop for uniform mini pancakes.
- Grease the pan lightly to avoid greasy pancakes.
- Serve pancakes fresh and warm, folding and filling right after cooking.
- If making many, keep pancakes warm under foil in a low oven.
