    Today's recipe is a part of #EasterBrunchWeek and has been sponsored by Nordic Ware. As always, all opinions are my own. For more information, please see our Disclosure Policy. #ad #NordicWare

    Breakfast is such a fun meal - especially when it's not rushed. I love baking on the weekends, and Mr. Juggling Act almost always makes pancakes on Sundays. It's a nice way to spend time together at the end of a long week.  When the kids were very small, I often made silver dollar pancakes because they were just the right size. Now, I use my Nordic Ware silver dollar pancake pan to make them because even though the kids are in elementary school now, eating tiny food is fun!

    Silver Dollar Pancake Ingredients including butter in a small ramekin, milk in a measuring cup, glass bowl with flour and sugar, a whole egg, a wooden spoon.

    Silver Dollar Pancakes start out with a batter that's pretty much the same as any other pancake recipe.  You probably already have all the ingredients on hand!

    🧂 Ingredients

    • flour
    • granulated sugar
    • baking powder
    • milk
    • egg
    • vanilla extract
    • ground cinnamon
    • butter
    • cooking spray

    This awesome pan comes with a 10-year warranty! It's just one of the many reasons I really love Nordic Ware! Not only can you use this fun pan to make mini pancakes, but you can also make a whole bunch of perfectly round sunny side up eggs!

    For a list of some of my favorite items to use when cooking, and why I chose them, please visit my Kitchen Resource page.

    🔪 Instructions

    Here's how to make silver dollar pancakes:

    1. First, mix together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
    2. Then, add in the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
    3. Stir to combine.
    4. Then, add the melted butter until just combined. Take care not to over mix!
    5. Now, spray the silver dollar pancake pan with cooking spray and set it onto a burner heated to medium-high. (You may need to adjust this if your stove cooks hot).
    6. Next, pour a tablespoon of batter onto the skillet and repeat until each well of the pan is full.
    7. When the bubbles appear on the top of the pancake, flip it using a small spatula.
    8. Cook another minute, then remove from the pan and serve hot.
    9. Respray the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter.

    How Do You Serve Silver Dollar Pancakes?

    Serve with a variety of toppings such as butter, syrup, jam, fresh fruit and even whipped cream.  My daughter loves hers with strawberries and maple syrup while my son like them loaded with mini chocolate chips! Flavored butters and spreads are also delicious. Here's a few recipes you might enjoy:

    • Blackberry Cream Cheese Spread
    • Maple Bacon Compound Butter
    • Cranberry Butter
    • Strawberry Lime Jam

    Why Are My Pancakes Not Fluffy?

    Over mixing will cause your silver dollar pancakes chewy instead of fluffy. Stir the dry and wet ingredients until they are just mixed together. There may be some lumps but that's okay. If you over mix, gluten will develop from the flour and that's what makes them chewy.

    Recipe Variations

    Because we test all our recipes, we recommend that you make them once just as it is without substitutions or changes. Sometimes variations can go awry. Making our silver dollar pancakes as we have tested it will yield the best results. If you really want to get creative, here are some ideas for variations that might work well. (Please note, we have not tested these variations).

    • To the batter, add mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or small blueberries.
    • For a pumpkin version, reduce the milk to ⅓ cup and use ⅓ cup of pumpkin puree.
    • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for  buttermilk silver dollar pancakes.

    🍲 Storage

    These little silver dollar pancakes can make your week a lot easier. Make a double batch on the weekend, then place them in an airtight container between sheets of parchment paper. Refrigerate until ready to serve. I love that my kiddos can grab homemade pancakes from the fridge and warm them in the microwave in the morning. It's a fantastic way to get them to be more responsible for themselves in the morning, too!

      I enjoy making a ham, scalloped potatoes (au gratin!) and a nice leafy salad. Dessert is never the same every year but I like a nice cake!
