Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, then fold in the rainbow sprinkles carefully.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Shape Pancakes: Place a heart-shaped pancake mold on the preheated griddle and pour batter into the mold until it fills halfway, allowing room for rise.
- Cook First Side: Let the pancake cook until bubbles form on the surface, which means the bottom is cooked and ready to flip.
- Flip and Cook Second Side: Carefully remove the mold and flip the pancake to cook the other side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Repeat and Serve: Remove the pancake from the pan and repeat steps with the remaining batter. Serve the heart-shaped pancakes warm with syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For best results, use a non-stick pan to easily flip pancakes without breaking the hearts.
- If you don’t have a heart-shaped mold, use any shape mold or pour batter freehand.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender.
- Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
