To achieve perfectly fluffy mini pancakes, it’s essential to get the cooking time right. Each pancake will require about 1 to 2 minutes per side. The key to knowing when to flip them lies in the tiny bubbles that form on the surface of the pancakes. When you see bubbles beginning to appear and pop, it’s time to flip. This indicates that the pancake has set and is ready to brown on the other side.

Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

1 cup apple butter

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Sliced apples (for garnish, optional)

Maple syrup (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

    Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the pan.

      Cook the Mini Pancakes: Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each mini pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip and cook for another minute until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.

        Assemble the Sandwiches: Take one mini pancake and spread a generous layer of apple butter on top. Add a second mini pancake to create a sandwich.

          Add Whipped Cream (Optional): If desired, you can add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon on top of each mini pancake sandwich for extra flair.

            Garnish and Serve: If you like, top with thinly sliced apples for a fresh crunch and drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness. Serve immediately while still warm.
