Best 4 Mini Pancake Appetizer Recipes

SILVER DOLLAR PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter, and egg. Add flour mixture to milk mixture and whisk until just moistened (batter should have some lumps).
• Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium. With a paper towel coated in butter, lightly grease skillet. Working in batches, drop batter by tablespoonfuls into skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on top and a few have burst, 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on underside, 1 minute. Repeat with more butter and remaining batter, wiping skillet clean between batches. Serve with desired toppings.

FRUITY MINI PANCAKE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Whisk milk, egg, butter, and amaretto extract together in a second bowl. Pour wet ingredients into the flour mixture, and mix until batter is well combined and smooth.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter onto the hot skillet to form 1-inch diameter pancakes. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, flip, and continue cooking until golden brown, about 1 more minute. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
• Stack ingredients on a work surface as follows: pancake, banana, pancake spread with cream cheese, pancake, strawberry, and pancake. (Each skewer will use 4 pancakes.) Insert a skewer through the center of the stack and repeat to make remaining skewers.
• Dust with confectioners sugar, and serve.

MINI POTATO PANCAKES WITH SOUR CREAM AND PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater and rinse with cold water in a colander. Strain well and squeeze dry in a towel. Transfer to a bowl and add the chopped chives and egg. Mix well to thoroughly combine, then sprinkle with the flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix to combine.
• Heat about 1/8 inch of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot. Working in batches, spoon rounded tablespoons of the mixture into the skillet and flatten each to make thin pancakes. Cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Spoon a little bit of sour cream on each pancake followed by a dollop of the pepper jelly. Garnish with the chive segments and serve.
