01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

02 - In a separate bowl, whisk milk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Leave lumps to maintain fluffiness; avoid overmixing.
04 - Transfer batter into a piping bag or squeeze bottle for controlled dispensing of mini pancakes.
05 - Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter.
06 - Pipe small dots of batter approximately 1/2 inch wide onto the skillet, spaced just enough to prevent sticking.
07 - Cook mini pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes until bubbles appear on surface and bottoms turn golden brown.
08 - Flip each mini pancake carefully using a spatula or fork; cook the other side for another minute until golden and cooked through.
09 - Transfer cooked mini pancakes into a bowl and top with maple syrup, berries, and a butter pat as desired. Enjoy with a spoon.
