Equipment
- Bowl
- Whisk
- Pastry bag/Piping bag or Plastic bag
- Frying pan
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Egg
- ¼ cup Sugar
- 2 tbsp Oil
- ½ cup Milk
- ½ tsp Vanilla essence
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:1. In a mixing bowl, crack the egg. Ensure the egg is at room temperature for smoother blending.2. Add ¼ cup of sugar to the bowl with the egg, then beat them together until well combined.3. Gradually pour in 2 tbsp of oil, ½ cup of milk, and ½ tsp of vanilla essence while whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth.4. Add 1 cup of flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and ¼ tsp of salt to the bowl, then mix until a smooth batter forms.5. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes. If the batter appears too thick, you can add a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Transfer Batter:1. Transfer the prepared pancake batter into a pastry bag/piping bag, or a sturdy plastic bag. If using a plastic bag, snip off a small corner to create a makeshift piping bag.
- Heat the Pan:1. Place a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Allow the pan to preheat for a few minutes until evenly heated.2. Once the pan is adequately heated, lightly grease it with a small amount of oil or non-stick cooking spray.3. Holding the piping bag or plastic bag containing the batter, gently squeeze and pipe small rounds of batter onto the preheated pan to form mini pancakes, ensuring they are evenly spaced apart.
- Cook the Pancakes:1. Let the pancakes cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges set.2. Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula, and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve:1. Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a serving plate or platter.2. Serve the pancakes warm, accompanied by your choice of toppings such as honey syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or ice cream. Alternatively, enjoy them plain for a simple yet satisfying treat.
