Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, room temperature (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar as substitute)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Orange segments or chopped mandarin
  • Banana slices
  • Green grapes or kiwi chunks
  • Blueberries
  • Blackberries or purple grapes
  • Maple syrup or honey for drizzling (optional)
  • Whipped cream or yogurt for dipping (optional)
  • Wooden skewers (6-8 inches long)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract in another bowl.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently until just combined; let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat until water droplets dance and evaporate.
  5. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter per mini pancake (2 inches wide) onto skillet; cook 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, flip and cook 1 more minute until golden brown. Keep warm.
  6. Prepare fruit by washing and cutting into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Thread fruit and mini pancakes alternately onto wooden skewers in rainbow order: strawberry, orange, banana, green grape or kiwi, blueberry, blackberry or purple grape, 6-8 pieces per skewer.
  8. Arrange kabobs on a platter, drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired, and serve with whipped cream or yogurt for dipping.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Dry fruit pieces well before threading to prevent slippery kabobs. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200Β°F oven if making a large batch. Optional cinnamon can be added to batter for warmth. Wooden skewers are safer and kid-friendly.
