With its tiny, bite-sized pieces, pancake cereal is perfect for breakfast or a fun brunch. Let’s dive into how you can make this trendy dish at home.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To create this delightful breakfast treat, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- Syrup, for serving
These simple ingredients are likely already in your kitchen, making it easy to whip up a batch of pancake cereal anytime.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these instructions to prepare your pancake cereal:
- Mix all pancake ingredients (pancake mix, milk, egg, and melted butter) in a bowl until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps for an even batter.
- Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle. If you don’t have a squeeze bottle, you can use a spoon to drop small circles of batter onto a hot, greased skillet.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat. Once hot, squeeze or spoon out tiny circles of batter onto the skillet. Aim for the size of a coin.
- Cook the pancake dots until bubbles form on the surface, then use a spatula to flip them over. Continue cooking until the other side is golden brown.
Serving Suggestions
Once your pancake cereal is ready, you can serve it in a bowl with your choice of toppings. Traditional syrup is always a hit, but you can also get creative with other toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or a touch of powdered sugar. If you prefer, you can even enjoy them with a splash of milk, similar to traditional cereal.
