  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 48 poppers

Ingredients

Batter Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking & Serving Additions

  • 1/2 cup melted butter (divided for each muffin tin cavity)
  • Fruit (for serving)
  • Syrup (for serving)
  • Powdered sugar (for serving)
  • Your favorite pancake toppings

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the pancake poppers evenly.
  2. Prepare Batter: In a blender, combine 6 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend on high for 3-5 minutes, making sure the eggs are completely beaten and the batter is smooth and well-mixed.
  3. Butter Muffin Tin: Pour about 1/2 teaspoon of melted butter into the bottom of each muffin tin cavity to prevent sticking and add rich flavor.
  4. Fill Muffin Cavities: Pour the prepared batter evenly into each buttered cavity of the muffin tin, filling them appropriately to allow room for the poppers to puff up while baking.
  5. Bake Pancake Poppers: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the sides of the pancake poppers are puffed and golden brown.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove the pancake poppers from the oven and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy them with fresh fruit, syrup, powdered sugar, or any of your favorite pancake toppings.

Notes

  • Ensure the batter is well blended to create light and fluffy poppers.
  • Butter each muffin cavity well to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
  • Try adding mini chocolate chips or blueberries into the batter for variety.
  • These poppers can also be kept warm in a low oven if not serving right away.
