Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, and dill)
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce (for dipping)
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for dipping)

How to Make Savory Mini Pancakes with Herb Toppings

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the milk and olive oil, mixing until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
4. Fold in the chopped fresh herbs until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
6. Using a tablespoon, drop small amounts of batter onto the skillet to form mini pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
8. In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce with balsamic vinegar if using, and serve alongside the mini pancakes.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
• Adjust the herbs based on your preference; consider using basil or cilantro for a different flavor.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the batter.
• Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven as you cook the rest.

Easy Variations

• Substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour for a healthier option.
• Add grated cheese to the batter for extra richness.
• Incorporate finely diced vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition and flavor.

What to Serve With It
