Mini Homemade Pancakes Recipe

There's something about mini versions of larger objects that just makes them so much more tasty and fun to eat! These silver dollar pancakes are just like regular pancakes, but ultra-small and bite-sized! Not only are they a hit with kids, but they are also great for adults (who are kids at heart).

They are a fantastic option for when you want to serve up a larger brunch spread. Everyone can have a little bit of pancake and some other yummy dishes without having to fill up on pancakes alone!

If pancakes are a staple breakfast dish in your home, make sure you check out all of my tasty pancake recipes! I also have some tips for how to make pancakes fluffier, as well as how to make store-bought pancake mix taste better!

🥘 Silver Dollar Pancakes Ingredients

This homemade pancake mix uses only common baking staples you probably already have at home! You can even stir just the dry ingredients and store the mix away for when it's needed!

  • All-Purpose Flour - 2 cups of all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled.
  • Sugar - ¼ cup of sugar.
  • Baking Powder - 3 teaspoons of baking powder.
  • Salt - ½ teaspoon of salt.
  • Milk - 1⅓ cups of room-temperature milk. You can use your favorite kind!
  • Butter - 5 tablespoons of melted butter, plus more for the griddle.
  • Vanilla Extract - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

*Be sure to see the free printable recipe card below for ingredients, exact amounts & instructions with tips!*

🔪 How To Make Silver Dollar Pancakes

Making silver dollar pancakes is just like making normal pancakes, but smaller! You'll want a mixing bowl, a whisk, a griddle or skillet, and a spatula!

You'll end up with about 24 mini pancakes, or about 4 servings.

  1. Mix dry ingredients. Mix together your dry ingredients in a large bowl (2 cups of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of sugar, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt).
  2. Add the wet ingredients. Pour in 1⅓ cups of milk, 5 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a whisk to mix it all together, stopping as soon as the ingredients are incorporated. *You do not want to overmix the batter; it is okay to still have some lumps.
  3. Heat. Turn your griddle (or skillet) to medium-low heat and thoroughly coat it with butter.
  4. Pour the batter. Once the griddle or skillet is hot and the butter has melted, pour 1 tablespoon of batter onto the griddle, leaving about 1 inch of space between each pancake.
  5. Cook and flip. Cook for about 2 minutes or until you see tiny bubbles begin to appear on the pancakes. Use a spatula to flip the pancakes and then cook for about 1 more minute or until lightly browned. *If you want extra crisp edges, swirl the melted butter over the edges of the pancakes, adding more butter to your pan as needed.
  6. Serve. Remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet/griddle and add more butter before cooking a second batch. Repeat until all of the pancake batter has been cooked. Serve immediately.

These bite-sized pancakes will become a new staple in your breakfast rotation! Check out my post on what to serve with pancakes for some yummy recipes and ideas! Enjoy!

💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes

  • This recipe will yield roughly 24 mini pancakes.
  • You can use a mini ice cream scoop or cookie scoop for uniform pancakes!
  • Add some tasty mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, or chopped nuts!

🥡 Storing & Reheating

These pancakes taste best when freshly made! If you have leftovers, I recommend freezing them instead of keeping them in the fridge (and they freeze well).

These pancakes make a great freezer breakfast! Simply allow them to cool completely and place them into a zip-top storage bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. 

Reheating Silver Dollar Pancakes

When ready, reheat your pancakes straight from frozen for 20-30 seconds in the microwave or a toaster oven.

❓ Recipe FAQs

Why Are They Called Silver Dollar Pancakes?

These tasty pancakes are only about 2-3 inches in size. They got their name because they are roughly the same size as a United States silver dollar produced in the 1920s and 1930s.

How Many Times Can You Flip A Pancake?

Pancakes should only be flipped one time during cooking. If you flip them repeatedly, the pancakes will deflate and lose their fluffy consistency.

How Do You Know When Pancakes Are Ready To Flip?

After pouring your batter onto the hot skillet, wait until you see bubbles form on the pancakes (about 2 minutes). This means they are ready to flip over!
