Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup tomato sauce (for dipping)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

How to Make Savory Mini Pancakes with Dipping Sauce

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg and then add milk and olive oil. Mix until combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Add the chopped parsley, chives, and sun-dried tomatoes to the batter. Stir gently to incorporate.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of oil or cooking spray.
6. Drop tablespoons of batter onto the skillet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
8. For the dipping sauce, combine the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Stir until well mixed.
9. Serve the mini pancakes warm with the dipping sauce on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your skillet is properly heated before adding the batter for even cooking.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy for the best texture.
• Experiment with different herbs based on what you have on hand, like dill or cilantro for a unique twist.

Easy Variations

• Add crumbled feta or goat cheese to the batter for a creamy flavor.
• Swap sun-dried tomatoes for roasted red peppers for a different taste.
• Use a mix of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour for a healthier option.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh vegetable platter with hummus.
• A light green salad with vinaigrette.
• Cheese platter featuring a variety of cheeses and crackers.
• Spicy salsa or guacamole for an extra kick.
