Making Fluffy Pancake Poppers is easy when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and greasing a mini muffin tin with melted butter.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay.

5. Add Mix-Ins: If desired, fold in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries.

6. Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.

7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the poppers are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.

9. Remove from Tin: Gently pop the pancake poppers out of the tin and let them cool on a wire rack.

10. Serve Warm: Enjoy them warm with your favorite syrup or toppings.

Following these steps will ensure that your Fluffy Pancake Poppers turn out perfectly every time, making breakfast a delightful experience.
