Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
