Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (or whole milk + 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, let sit 5 min)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Strawberries, sliced
  • Raspberries or blackberries
  • Bananas, sliced
  • Mini chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
  • Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
  • Maple syrup or honey
  • Whipped cream
  • Sprinkles (heart-shaped or pink-and-red)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Mini marshmallows (optional)
  • Optional: Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt
  • Optional: Peanut butter or almond butter
  • Optional: Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. If using milk + lemon juice, let it sit for 5 minutes before mixing in.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or fork—do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter or light spray of oil.
  5. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the skillet (about 2 inches across). Cook for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles form and edges look set.
  6. Flip pancakes and cook another 1-2 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
  7. While pancakes cook, wash and slice fruit, fill bowls with spreads, and arrange toppings.
  8. Arrange warm mini pancakes on a large serving board. Place bowls of Nutella, maple syrup, and whipped cream around the board. Scatter berries, chocolate chips, and sprinkles for color.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar, add mini marshmallows, and provide forks or toothpicks for serving. Serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter for fluffier pancakes. Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if making ahead. Use heart-shaped cutters for extra festive flair. Swap in gluten-free or dairy-free ingredients as needed. Arrange toppings in color blocks for a beautiful presentation. Let guests build their own stacks for a fun, interactive brunch.
