Expert Tips

Preheat the pan. If you’ve ever made pancakes in the past, chances are you’ve experienced what I call “the curse of the first pancake.” If you don’t let your pan preheat well enough, the first side takes what feels like forever to cook and never gets the proper golden hue. It can also sometimes stick! To avoid this, make sure to preheat until the butter gets foamy and bubbly.
Be orderly. Whether you go from left to right or add your mini pancakes in a swirl pattern, make sure you work in FIFO (first in, first out) fashion. The first pancakes to hit the pan should be the first ones you flip.
Make the dry mix ahead to save time in the morning. Whisk together all the dry ingredients up to 6 months in advance. When it’s time to make your tiny pancake breakfast, just add the egg, butter, and milk!
