1

Prepare the pancake batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, beat an egg, then add 3/4 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while mixing. Stir until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.

2

Shape the pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and use the back of a spoon to shape it into a heart shape. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip the pancake and cook for another minute or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

3

Add romantic toppings

Once the pancakes are cooked, it's time to add a touch of romance! Spread a layer of Nutella or strawberry jam on top of each heart-shaped pancake. For an extra special touch, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out slices of fresh strawberries and place them on top of the pancakes. Drizzle with a little maple syrup or chocolate sauce, and sprinkle some powdered sugar over everything.

4

Get creative with edible decorations

To take your heart-shaped pancakes to the next level, get creative with edible decorations. Use whipped cream to draw cute heart shapes on the pancakes or create a trail of hearts leading from one pancake to another. You can even add a few chocolate chips or edible glitter for some sparkle. Let your imagination run wild!

5

Serve with love

Now that your heart-shaped pancakes are ready, it's time to serve them with love. Arrange them on a plate with some fresh berries and a sprig of mint for an added touch of elegance. Serve with a side of crispy bacon or a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice to complete the romantic breakfast experience.
