Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190g)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (300ml), whole milk preferred
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for cooking
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 cups frozen mixed berries (300g), or fresh if in season
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 6–8 wooden skewers
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar, fresh mint leaves, Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt (about 5 minutes).
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (about 3 minutes).
  3. Fold wet into dry: Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy (about 2 minutes).
  4. Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush with melted butter; heat until hot but not smoking (about 3 minutes).
  5. Cook mini pancakes: Using a tablespoon or small ladle, drop 1 ½ inch rounds of batter onto skillet. Cook 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Work in batches, adding butter as needed (15-20 minutes).
  6. Make the berry compote: In a saucepan, combine berries, honey or maple syrup, lemon juice, and water. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until berries break down and sauce thickens slightly (about 10 minutes).
  7. Assemble skewers: Thread 4-5 mini pancakes onto each skewer, alternating with spoonfuls of berry compote or fresh berries. Dust with powdered sugar or add a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired (about 5 minutes).
  8. Serve immediately warm, topped with berry compote.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better texture. Cook on medium heat and wait for bubbles before flipping. Simmer berry compote gently to preserve flavor and texture. Thread pancakes loosely on skewers to avoid sogginess. Batter can be loosened with milk if too thick during cooking.
