Mini Puffed Oven Pancakes

I saw this recipe in Savoring the Seasons with Our Best Bites.

Ingredients:

 1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. The first thing you have to do is put the muffin pans in a 400 degree oven to get ready to cook. While it is heating you get all the ingredents ready by mixing the ingredents in the blender.

2. We then pulled the hot muffin tins out of the oven. We sprayed the hot muffin tins with cooking spray.  Then filled the muffin tins three quarters of the way with the batter.

3. It takes 12 to 18 minutes to cook. They need to look puffy and have lots of air in them and golden brown on the edges. We served them warm with maple syrup and butter. Other options to serve it with are with any jam, lemon and powdered sugar, frozen fruits and whipped cream
