Instant Pot Pancake Bites

Step 1

In a bowl sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and add in the sugar. And set aside.

Step 2

In a second mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and egg, then whisk in the melted butter and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Pour the milk mixture into the dry mixture, and lightly whisk until just combined. A few lumps are ok. Allow the batter to sit for a few minutes.

Step 4

Spray the molds and pour the batter into the egg silicone mold filling ¾ of each of the molds as the pancake bites will rise a little. Cover, and place on a trivet.

Step 5

Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot stainless steel insert. Then lower the trivet into the pot (you can stack 2 or 3 on top of each other). Secure the lid and set the vent to SEALING. Select the PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL setting and set the cooking time for 7 minutes at high pressure.

Step 6

The Instant Pot will take around 6-7 minutes to come to pressure and start cooking. When the cooking program ends, allow the steam to be naturally released for 5 minutes, then release the rest of the steam manually. Carefully remove the lid. And take out the molds.

Step 7

Allow them to cool down a little before you take the pancake bites out. Squeeze the sides a little, then push each from the bottom slowly onto a plate so you don't break them.
