Description

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with this charming and delightful heart-shaped pancake recipe. Fluffy and tender, these pancakes are enhanced with vanilla and served with fresh strawberries and maple syrup, making a perfect brunch dish to share with loved ones.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnishes

  • Fresh strawberries (for garnish)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, mixing well to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  3. Create Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain light and fluffy pancakes.
  4. Heat the Cooking Surface: Preheat a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Shape and Cook Pancakes: Place a heart-shaped cookie cutter onto the heated griddle. Pour the batter inside the cutter carefully. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then carefully remove the cookie cutter and flip the pancake to cook the other side until golden brown.
  6. Serve: Stack the heart-shaped pancakes on a plate and garnish with fresh strawberries. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet finish.

Notes

  • Use a lightly greased spatula to remove pancakes from the cookie cutter without breaking the shape.
  • Adjust the heat to prevent the pancakes from burning while ensuring they cook through.
  • For extra fluffy pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter; small lumps are okay.
  • Fresh strawberries can be substituted with other fresh berries or fruit of your choice.
