Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Maple syrup (for serving)

Preparation Notes: Make sure you are using Halal-certified ingredients, and feel free to tweak the quantities to fit your needs!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add melted butter and milk. Whisk until fully combined.
3. Combine Both Mixes: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can create tough pancakes.
4. Heat the Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If necessary, add a little oil or butter to prevent sticking.
5. Make Mini Pancakes: Using a small spoon or a mini squeeze bottle, pour small circles of pancake batter into the skillet. Make sure they are tiny—about the size of a quarter.
6. Cook the Pancakes: Allow them to cook for about 1-2 minutes until you see bubbles forming on the top. Flip them with a spatula and let them cook for an additional minute until golden brown.
7. Serve: Quickly remove the pancakes from the skillet and transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle with maple syrup and your favorite toppings!

Top Tips for Perfecting Pancake Cereal

• Substitutions: You can easily make this recipe gluten-free by using almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. It’s also possible to substitute the milk with almond milk or oat milk for lactose intolerance concerns.
• Timing: Cook pancakes in small batches to maintain the right temperature of your skillet and ensure even cooking.
• Avoid Mistakes: Keep the pancake size small for the best cereal experience. If they’re too big, they won’t maintain that perfect crispy texture!

Storing and Reheating Tips

To keep your Pancake Cereal fresh, store leftover mini pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to enjoy them later, you can also freeze them! Place them on a baking sheet in the freezer until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They will last for about a month.

When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat the pancakes in the toaster or microwave until warm. Reheating in the toaster can revive that wonderful crispiness while microwaving is a quick way to warm them—just be cautious not to overdo it to avoid drying them out.

Now, gather your family and surprise them with a joyful breakfast bowl of crispy, fluffy Pancake Cereal! You won’t regret trying this delightful dish, and it’s sure to become a cherished part of your breakfast repertoire. Enjoy!
