Step 1:

How do you make mini pancakes? Gather your ingredients. There's no sugar in the recipe at all, since these pancakes are served with honey or syrup. If you have a sweet tooth, add half a tablespoon. It's best if the milk and other ingredients are warm, at room temperature — the batter will come together better and the pancakes will taste better.
Step 2:

Melt the butter however is easiest — I melted mine on the stovetop. Then let it cool.
Step 3:

Pour the milk into a large bowl. Crack in the egg and add the melted butter. Whisk everything together until smooth.
Step 4:

In a separate bowl, sift the flour. Add the other dry ingredients — baking powder, baking soda, and salt — along with the sugar if you're using it. Mix together.
Step 5:

Add the dry mixture to the milk mixture and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
Step 6:

Now transfer the batter into something you can squeeze it out of onto the pan — a squeeze bottle, an empty sauce bottle, or a piping bag.
Step 7:

Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet — it makes the pancakes easier to cook. Grease it with a little vegetable oil. Squeeze out tiny pancakes, each about the size of a quarter.
Step 8:

Cook them on one side, then flip to the other. A fork or toothpick makes flipping the little ones easier.
Step 9:

Slide the finished pancakes onto a plate in one motion. Cook the rest of the batter the same way. Serve the pancakes with sour cream, honey, jam, or berries.

Such a fun dish! I think kids will love it. Next time I'd use a little less flour to make the batter a bit thinner.
You can melt butter in the microwave on the appropriate setting (check your appliance's manual) or in a double boiler. How do you melt butter in a double boiler? You'll need two pots of different sizes. Fill the larger one with water and set it on the stove. Set the smaller one on top so it's submerged about halfway. Add the cut-up butter to the smaller pot. The heat from the boiling water will melt it. Stir gently to speed things up, and as soon as the butter is fully melted, take it off the heat.
