We’re always looking for fun ways to mix up breakfast ideas, and this trick is so simple yet effective: silver dollar pancakes! These miniature-sized pancakes cook up about the size of a silver dollar, making them perfect for people who love all things mini.

You can do this trick with any pancake batter you like, but we’ve included our favorite recipe below. Of course kids love them, but kids usually love any type of pancake! Needless to say, ours were head over heels for these. They’re perfect for parties and entertaining (Christmas, Thanksgiving, and everything in between).

Tips for cooking silver dollar pancakes

If you want to make silver dollar pancakes, here are a few keys:

  • Cook the pancakes in 1 tablespoon-sized circles of batter. It might seem like it won’t be enough batter, but this size is perfect and easy to make. It does come out slightly bigger than an actual silver dollar, but hey—we doubt anyone will complain!
  • Use a large griddle: a non-stick surface is helpful. A large griddle is nice, because it takes quite a while to cook so many pancakes! A non-stick surface is a plus.
  • Experiment to find the right heat level. Medium low heat is ideal. If it’s too low the pancakes don’t puff up and brown on the outside, but if it’s too high it burns the outside before the interior cooks.

Ingredient notes

For the flour, we like a pancake with a bit of whole wheat flour, which adds a bit of complexity in flavor. You can add up to half whole wheat flour here, or make our whole wheat pancakes in a 1 tablespoon size.

The egg is required for binder, but you can also make pancakes without eggs in the 1 tablespoon size.

The apple cider vinegar helps to make a fluffy pancake. If you don’t have it, you can use any type of vinegar or lemon juice.

  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (or neutral oil)
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, then whisk in the milk, melted butter (or oil), vanilla extract, and vinegar.
  3. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. (It will thicken after it sits 1 to 2 minutes.)
  4. Lightly butter a skillet or griddle and wipe off extra grease with a paper towel. Heat the skillet to medium low heat. Drop batter in 1 tablespoon portions onto the skillet. Cook the pancakes until the bubbles pop on the top and the bottoms are golden. Then flip them and cook until cooked through.
  5. Place the cooked pancakes under an inverted bowl to keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain an even temperature. Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.
