Steps

1

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, and egg into a batter and cook mini-sized pancakes.

~8 min

2

Make mini sandwiches with ham, cheese, and lettuce between the bread slices, then cut in half.

~5 min

3

In a pot, warm the tomato sauce (or corn soup base) with the milk over low heat.

~5 min

Why: Warming it slowly over low heat keeps the milk from separating.

4

Season the soup with salt and pepper and ladle it into a small bowl.

~2 min

5

Arrange the mini pancakes, mini sandwiches, and soup together on a large plate.

~3 min

6

Top the pancakes with maple syrup, butter, and your favorite fruit to finish.

~2 min

Watch out: Trying to make all three components at once easily gets chaotic — warm the soup first and keep it hot while you prepare the pancakes and sandwiches.

Tips

  • Plating three items together on one plate gives it that weekend brunch café feel.

  • A corn soup base makes the soup faster and richer.

  • Keep everything mini-sized so you can enjoy all three items in balance.

Storage

Store each component separately and reheat just before plating.
