Gently mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined (do not overmix). Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Drop small spoonfuls of batter onto the skillet to form mini pancakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer to a plate.
- Make the Pistachio Cream: In a bowl, whisk together pistachio paste, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency by adding more cream if needed.
