Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed to create the base of the pancake batter.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, thoroughly mix the milk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and gently stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the pancakes light. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles delicately for even distribution.
- Prepare the cooking surface: Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it if necessary to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Shape the pancakes: Place a heart-shaped pancake mold onto the hot griddle. Pour the batter into the mold, filling it about halfway to allow room for rising.
- Cook the pancakes: Allow the pancake to cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface, indicating readiness to flip. Carefully remove the mold, flip the pancake using a spatula, and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Repeat these steps with the remaining batter. Serve the heart-shaped rainbow sprinkle pancakes warm, topped with syrup or whipped cream as desired for a delightful breakfast experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine to ensure fluffy pancakes.
- Lightly grease the mold and pan to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
- Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring they cook through.
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle for best results.
- Feel free to experiment with different shapes or sprinkle colors for special occasions.
