To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Dish

The Small Dish

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup (95g) all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup (170ml) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Maple syrup, for serving (optional)
  • Fresh fruit, for serving (optional)

Preparation

  1. Place the butter in the Anyday Small Dish and cook until fully melted. Add melted butter and remaining ingredients to a mixing bowl. Whisk batter until smooth.
  2. Coat 1-2 Anyday Small Dishes with non-stick cooking spray. Pour 1⁄4 cup batter into each dish, or enough to cover the bottom. Cook as many as 2-4 Small Dishes at one time, depending on the size of your microwave.
  3. Cover with lid (knob lifted) and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the batter is spongy to the touch. Transfer pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter — or serve and eat right in the dish! 
  4. Serve with maple syrup or your favorite toppings.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • Add blueberries (fresh or frozen) to the batter for blueberry pancakes.
  • Buttermilk can be substituted for whole milk, half and half, or plant-based milk of choice.
  • Add chocolate chips for a sweet breakfast treat!

Recipe notes

  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
