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
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Optional Fillings

  • Mini Chocolate Chips
  • Fresh Berries (blueberries, strawberries)
  • Chopped Apples
  • Diced Ham or Cheese (for savory variation)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 tablespoon sugar. In another bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to keep the batter fluffy.
  2. Heat and Grease the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and achieve a golden crust.
  3. Cook the Poppers: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter onto the heated skillet, forming small rounds. Cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges look set, then flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  4. Add Fillings (Optional): Immediately after spooning batter onto the pan, sprinkle desired fillings such as chocolate chips or berries on top. Gently press them in so they stick and cook evenly into the poppers.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the cooked pancake poppers from the pan and transfer them to a plate. Serve warm with your favorite syrup, fruit, or toppings.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep poppers light and fluffy.
  • Use a tablespoon or small scoop for consistent popper size.
  • Cook on medium heat to prevent burning and ensure thorough cooking.
  • Use fresh baking powder and quality vanilla extract for best flavor and rise.
  • Test cook a few poppers to check heat and timing before the full batch.
