What is a silver dollar pancake?
Named for their diminutive, coin-like circumference, silver dollar pancakes are approximately 2-3 inches when cooked. Sure, they are a little smaller than your average pancake but just as delicious. Serve them in stacks, bunches or with creative breakfast presentations due to being bite-size. Is it only me or these pancakes tend to excite kids a lot because of their mini size and easy-to-eat nature, however, adults absolutely adore them too- specially when loaded with fancy toppings or syrups.
Silver dollar pancakes work great in a weekend brunch, with the family for breakfast or even as a breakfast on-the-go during the week!
The Perfect Silver Dollar Pancake Ingredients
HOW TO MAKE FLUFFY SILVER DOLLAR PANCAKES Silver dollar pancakes are so easy to make with only a few basic ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:
Baking powder: The answer to light and fluffy pancakes or biscuits. All-purpose flour — the base for a tender variety of pancake
Baking powder // Gives them their light and fluffy fluff!
Sugar: Gives a touch of sweetness (which is totally different from tasting all sugary)
Egg → help holds the batter together and adds richness.
Milk: You can use regular or plant-based milk; it adds the moist needed to make this batter smooth.
All-Purpose Flour: To give the pancakes structure and fluffiness. Baking Powder & Baking Soda: Both are used to react with the heat and cause air bubbles which expand your pancake giving it that characteristic light texture and rise. Spices + Salt Eggs Butter: Melted butter is flavor…Fluffy Crack Pancakes…..tempting?
Vanilla extract: For a lovely, mild sweetness in both flavor and smell.
A pinch of salt: Counteracts the sweetness.
The ingredients blend together for a straightforward but delicious pancake batter that comes together in minutes.
