These silver dollar pancakes are light, fluffy, and miniature, perfect for dipping and making breakfast fun, especially for kids. They feature a simple batter made from basic pantry ingredients and cook quickly on the stovetop in a nonstick skillet.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (see note for gluten-free option)
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the whole milk, vegetable oil, and lightly beaten egg into the dry ingredients. Whisk until you form a smooth pancake batter that is fairly thin in consistency.
  3. Let Batter Rest: Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes. This helps the leavening activate and the batter to thicken slightly for fluffier pancakes.
  4. Preheat Skillet: While the batter rests, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to coat the surface.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Once the skillet is hot, use a tablespoon to scoop the batter onto the pan, forming small silver dollar-sized pancakes (6-7 per batch).
  6. Flip Pancakes: Cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes on the first side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip with a thin spatula and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Repeat: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.

Notes

  • Gluten free option: Substitute the all-purpose flour with Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking Flour for a gluten-free version.
