all-purpose flour 1 cup
sugar 2 tablespoons
baking powder 1 teaspoon
salt a pinch
milk 3/4 cup
egg 1
butter 2 tablespoons
cooking spray or butter as needed

Be careful not to burn yourself or the pancakes while flipping!

1

Prepare the pancake batter

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of milk, 1 beaten egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

2

Preheat your non-stick pan

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Grease the pan lightly with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Make sure the heat is not too high, as it can cause the outside of the pancakes to cook too quickly while the inside remains raw.

3

Place a heart-shaped cookie cutter onto the preheated pan. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the cookie cutter, spreading it evenly with a spoon. Remove the cookie cutter gently and repeat with the remaining batter, leaving enough space between each pancake for flipping.

4

Cook until bubbles form

Let the pancakes cook undisturbed until small bubbles start to form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. This indicates that the pancakes are ready to be flipped.

5

Flip with finesse

Using a thin spatula, gently slide it under the pancake and flip it over in one swift motion. Be confident, just like when you flipped your crush's heart! Cook the pancake on the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve and enjoy!

Carefully transfer the heart-shaped pancakes to a plate. Serve them warm with your favorite toppings, like maple syrup, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy the love-filled breakfast with your valentine!
