Ingredients

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; a few lumps are fine. Let your two-year-old help with stirring!
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with a little butter.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop dollops of batter onto the skillet to make mini medallion-sized pancakes. Let your child help by handing you the spoon or counting the pancakes.
Cook until little bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 1-2 minutes. Flip gently and cook for another 1 minute until golden.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings—let your little helper sprinkle fruit or drizzle syrup for extra fun!
