Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to form a pancake batter. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

Step 5

Spoon small amounts of the pancake batter (about 2-3 inches in diameter) onto the hot surface. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Set the mini pancakes aside on a plate.

Step 6

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Simmer the broth for 10 minutes to allow the vegetables to fully soften and flavors to meld.

Step 10

Ladle the hot soup into bowls and add the mini pancakes on top or to the side.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your pancake soup warm!
