How to Make Pancake Cereal

Ingredients

• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk (If unavailable, mix 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and let sit 5 minutes)
• 1 Egg (large, room temperature)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted, plus extra for pan)
• 1 tablespoon Neutral Oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil, for pan coating)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional, for flavor)

Instructions

1. Make the Pancake Batter

   In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate cup combine buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla; then pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined; a few lumps are okay.

   Time: PT5M

2. Transfer Batter to a Bag

   Spoon the batter into a zip‑top bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal the top. Using scissors, cut off the very tip of the bag—just a tiny opening—to give you control over the flow of batter.

   Time: PT2M

3. Heat the Skillet

   Place the non‑stick skillet over medium heat and add the neutral oil plus a small knob of butter. Swirl to coat the surface evenly; the butter should melt and foam but not brown.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium heat (≈350°F/175°C)

4. Pipe Mini Pancakes

   Hold the bag over the skillet and gently squeeze to release tiny dollops of batter—about the size of a pea—spaced a few centimeters apart. The batter will spread slightly into round mini pancakes.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: Medium heat (≈350°F/175°C)

5. Cook and Flip

   Allow the mini pancakes to cook for about 30 seconds, or until tiny bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Using a small spatula, flip each pancake and cook another 20‑30 seconds until golden.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium heat (≈350°F/175°C)

6. Serve as Cereal

   Transfer the cooked mini pancakes to a serving bowl. Add milk, yogurt, fresh fruit, or enjoy them dry as a crunchy cereal. Serve immediately while warm.

   Time: PT1M
