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
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract to create the wet mixture.
- Make the batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles evenly throughout the batter.
- Heat the pan: Place a griddle or a frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Shape the pancakes: Position a heart-shaped pancake mold on the heated surface. Pour the batter into the mold to fill it about halfway, allowing room for rising.
- Cook the pancakes: Cook the batter until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, then carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until it’s golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat and serve: Remove the heart-shaped pancake mold and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of syrup or whipped cream for a delightful breakfast treat.
Notes
- For best results, do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle for easy flipping and to prevent sticking.
- If you don’t have a heart-shaped mold, freeform the pancakes into hearts using a spoon and careful pouring.
- These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven (around 200°F/93°C) while cooking the rest.
- Serve with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
