Creating Pancake Poppers can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg and then add milk and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
3. Combine Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
4. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or an electric pancake maker on medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
5. Pour Batter: Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop batter into the hot skillet. Each popper should be about the size of a golf ball.
6. Add Fillings: Before the batter fully sets, add chocolate chips or desired fruit on top of each popper.
7. Cook Until Bubbly: Allow the poppers to cook until small bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes, then flip.
8. Cook on the Other Side: Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
9. Remove and Cool: Once golden, remove from the skillet and let them cool for a minute on a wire rack.
10. Repeat: Continue until all batter is cooked.

With these steps, you’ll be able to create these delightful bites effortlessly!
