1

Gather Your Ingredients

Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients for this sweet and romantic treat. You will need: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 3/4 cup of milk, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and your choice of filling such as chocolate chips, Nutella, or fruit preserves. Don't forget your favorite pancake toppings!

2

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This will ensure that your pancake batter is fluffy and well-balanced in flavor.

3

Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk them together until they are well blended. This will give your pancakes a rich and delicious taste.

4

Create Heart-Shaped Pancakes

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Grease it lightly with butter or oil to prevent sticking. Pour small circles of pancake batter onto the pan, then use a spoon or a squeeze bottle to create heart-shaped outlines by filling in the top arch of each circle and drawing down towards the bottom. Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip them to cook the other side.

5

Add the Surprise Filling

Once you've flipped the pancakes, sprinkle your chosen filling over the batter. You can be generous with the filling, as it will create a delightful surprise when your loved one takes a bite. Feel free to get creative and experiment with different fillings for your special someone!

6

Finish and Serve

Cook the pancakes until they are golden brown on both sides and the filling is warm and gooey. Transfer them to a plate and serve them with your favorite toppings, such as a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy the love-filled and delicious pancakes with your valentine!
