These pellet pancakes are an easily customizable treat that are colorful and fun!
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter (optional)
- ¼ cup applesauce
- 1 tsp bee pollen or sugar
- 1 cup flour
- ½ tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup finch-size pellets (colored or natural)
Directions
In a bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the egg, milk, butter, applesauce, and bee pollen/sugar. Add the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon, and mix again until blended. The batter should not be runny. If too thick, add small amounts of water or milk. If too thin, add small amounts of flour. At this point, fold in the pellets.
Preheat a skillet or griddle to low-medium. For tiny pancakes, fill a ziplock with batter and cut a small piece of a bottom corner off and pipe little disks on the hot pan. If you have extra pellets, sprinkle them on top while the batter is wet. They will cook quickly, so watch for the batter to look dry, and at that point they should be flipped over. A toothpick works well for poking them and turning them over. Once the other side is cooked, remove from heat to cool before serving. These can also be prepared at normal pancake size, but will need to be cooked slightly longer.
