# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until uniformly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing, as a few lumps are desirable.
04 - Transfer batter to a piping bag, squeeze bottle, or use a teaspoon to portion small droplets for cooking.
05 - Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with butter.
06 - Pipe or spoon dime-sized dots of batter, spacing slightly apart. Cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles form and edges appear set.
07 - Flip each mini pancake with a spatula or chopstick and continue cooking for about 1 minute until golden brown.
08 - Continue with remaining batter, reapplying butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
09 - Arrange mini pancakes in a bowl. Pour milk for a cereal-like experience, drizzle with syrup, or garnish with fresh fruit if desired.
