# Components:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 3/4 cup whole milk
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus additional for cooking)
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ For Serving

10 - Milk, maple syrup, honey, or fresh berries (optional)

# Method:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
03 - Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined; some lumps are acceptable to preserve fluffiness.
04 - Pour batter into a squeeze bottle, piping bag, or resealable plastic bag with a small corner cut off for piping.
05 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter to prevent sticking.
06 - Pipe small dots of batter about the size of a nickel onto the heated surface, spacing them slightly apart to allow spreading.
07 - Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set, then flip and cook an additional 30 to 60 seconds until golden and fully cooked.
08 - Transfer cooked pancake bites to a plate and repeat the process with remaining batter until finished.
09 - Serve warm in bowls with milk, syrup, honey, or fresh berries as desired.
