- ¾ cup flour *or reduce to ½ cup, see note below
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2-3 tablespoons butter melted

- 6 large frozen or fresh strawberries

- optional: sugar if needed to taste

Instructions
Pancakes
- Place mini muffin pan (or cast iron skillet) in oven and heat to 400℉. While oven is heating, place flour, milk, eggs, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Carefully remove the pan from the oven (don’t forget it’s hot!) and quickly spray the wells with non-stick spray, or brush with melted butter. (If using cast iron pan, coat entire pan surface with butter). Fill muffin wells ¾ full with batter. Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until puffed and slightly golden on top.
- Remove puffs and place on plate or platter. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Drizzle with berry sauce and top with cool whip or whipped cream, or serve with sauce and/or maple syrup for dipping.
Quick and Easy Berry Sauce
- If using frozen berries, place berries and jam in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 1 minute. Use a fork to stir and mash everything together (cut strawberries if necessary), or place everything in a blender and pulse a few times until desired consistency is reached. Add sugar to taste for sweetness and a few teaspoons of water or juice only if needed for consistency.
- Yields about 24 mini muffin pancake puffs.
Notes
*Since so many have made these and love them, I didn’t want to alter the recipe from its original posting. however, since making these more often, I have found I prefer the texture of the finished puffed pancakes when I decrease the flour to 1/2 cup. Try it both ways and See how you like it!
