how to make mini miffy pancakes
You mix a basic pancake batter, cook tiny pancakes in a pan, and add the face with melted chocolate or icing. Make the batter smooth and use a squeeze bottle or small spoon to make even mini pancakes. Let them cool a little before you draw the face.
Ingredients :
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter or oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Oil or butter for the pan
- For the face: 2 tbsp melted dark chocolate or a black icing pen
- Small strawberries or jam for cheeks (optional)
Directions :
- In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour wet mix into dry mix. Stir until smooth. Do not overmix.
- Heat a non-stick pan over low to medium-low heat. Lightly oil the pan.
- Use a squeeze bottle or a teaspoon to drop small rounds (about 2 inches) into the pan. Leave space between each pancake.
- Cook until small bubbles form and the edges look set, about 1–2 minutes. Flip and cook 30–45 seconds more.
- Move cooked pancakes to a plate. Let them cool for a minute.
- Put melted chocolate in a small bag or use a toothpick. Draw two small dots for eyes and a small "x" for the mouth on each pancake. Add tiny cheeks with jam or a small strawberry piece if you like.

FAQs
Q: How do I keep all pancakes the same size?
A: Use a squeeze bottle or a small ice cream scoop. Press the bottle for the same amount of batter each time.
Q: What if my batter bubbles too much or not at all?
A: If too many bubbles, your heat may be too high. Lower the heat. If no bubbles, the pan may be too hot or the batter too thick.
Q: Can I make the faces ahead of time?
A: You can, but the chocolate may soften when stacked. It is best to add the face just before serving.
Q: Can I use chocolate chips instead of melted chocolate?
A: Yes. Place a few chocolate chips on the pancake while it is hot, then press them gently to make eyes. Use a toothpick to make the "x" for the mouth with melted chips.
Q: Are mini Miffy pancakes good for a party?
A: Yes. They are small, cute, and easy to eat. Make a few batches and keep them warm in the oven at low heat.
