Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk (whole or 2%, dairy-free milk works too)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup blueberries, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 large kiwi, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 1 medium banana, sliced into coins
  • Optional: small mint leaves for garnish
  • Maple syrup or honey for drizzling
  • Wooden skewers (6-8 inches long)

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat egg with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Make the batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry mix and stir gently just until combined. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat the pan: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Cook mini pancakes: Drop about 1 tablespoon of batter per pancake onto the pan, spacing about 1 inch apart. Cook 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  6. Flip and finish cooking: Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer to plate and cover loosely with foil. Repeat with remaining batter.
  7. Prepare fruit: Wash and slice fruit into bite-sized pieces, keep fresh by covering with a damp paper towel if prepping early.
  8. Assemble skewers: Thread mini pancakes and fruit alternately onto wooden skewers. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
  9. Serve: Arrange skewers on a platter and drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use King Arthur flour for better structure. Choose firm but ripe fruit to hold up well on skewers. If batter thickens after resting, add a splash of milk. Medium heat is best to avoid burning. Flip pancakes only once. Soak wooden skewers briefly in water to prevent splinters. Batter can be made up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerated.
