Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (5 oz) white or wheat
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • Cooking spray for the pan

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Mini Muffin Pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Place a mini muffin pan inside the oven to get hot for about 10 minutes while you prepare the batter.
  3. In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend on low speed for 10-20 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth.
  4. Add the flour and salt to the blender. Pulse or blend until the dry ingredients are just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  5. Carefully remove the hot mini muffin pan from the oven and spray each cup thoroughly with cooking spray.
  6. Quickly pour the batter into the cups, filling each one about halfway full.
  7. Bake immediately for 8-10 minutes, or until the pancakes have puffed up and are lightly browned.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and dump the pancakes out onto a clean kitchen towel while they are still warm. Keep them covered to retain heat until you are ready to serve.
  9. Top with your favorite sweet or savory additions and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure the mini muffin tin is preheated in the oven before adding the batter to create the iconic puffed shape. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
