Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
- 3 tbsps unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a cake pop or mini muffin pan with cooking spray or butter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl until uniformly blended.
- Create Batter Base: Integrate whole milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter into dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth consistency is achieved with minimal lumps.
- Enhance Texture: Whip the separate egg white to stiff, glossy peaks, then delicately fold into the batter. Optional: Incorporate chocolate chips for added indulgence.
- Fill and Bake: Portion batter into molds, filling each about 3/4 full. Transfer to preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow poppers to rest in the pan for 3-5 minutes, then transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or preferred topping.
Notes
- Whip Egg Whites Right: Vigorously beat egg whites until stiff peaks form to guarantee light, fluffy pancake poppers with incredible texture.
- Pan Preparation Matters: Thoroughly coat mini muffin or cake pop pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Fold Carefully: Use gentle, sweeping motions when incorporating whipped egg whites to maintain maximum airiness in the batter.
- Topping Creativity: Experiment with chocolate chips, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries to personalize your pancake poppers and make them extra delicious.
