Pour small circles of batter into the pan.
When you see bubbles on the surface and the edges look set, flip them gently.
Cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden.
Serve immediately
Stack them up, add your toppings, take a cute photo if you’re that girl (same), and eat while warm.
✨ Little “Almost Fancy” upgrades (optional)
If you want to make them feel a bit fancier without much effort:
Add a handful of chocolate chips to the batter.
Mix some cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on top.
Warm frozen berries with a spoonful of sugar in a small pan to make a quick “sauce”.
Use a small glass or ring to make them all the same size for the aesthetic.
Make savory ones as well for a full meal.
This recipe is simple enough for busy mornings, but cozy enough to feel like a tiny weekend treat — very Almost Fancy.
