Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pancake Poppers
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease your mini muffin tins using cooking spray or softened butter.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 egg to the thickened milk mixture. Whisk until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  6. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter into each greased mini muffin cup, filling them three-quarters full. Fold in any desired mix-ins.
  7. Bake for 8-12 minutes until puffed and golden brown. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes before carefully removing the pancake poppers from the tins and serve warm.
