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
Additional
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
- Prepare Cooking Surface: Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil if needed to prevent sticking.
- Shape Pancakes: Place a heart-shaped pancake mold onto the heated griddle. Pour batter into the mold, filling it halfway to allow room for the pancake to rise.
- Cook Pancakes: Cook the pancake until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Carefully remove the mold, then flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 more minutes.
- Repeat and Serve: Repeat the process with remaining batter. Serve the heart-shaped pancakes warm with syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings for a cheerful breakfast treat.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Use a non-stick griddle or well-greased pan for best results.
- Adjust the heat to medium to avoid burning the pancakes.
- Feel free to substitute milk with a plant-based alternative if dairy-free is preferred.
- Rainbow sprinkles add sweetness and color but can be adjusted or omitted.
- For a more pronounced heart shape, gently press the batter into the mold before cooking.
