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
Additional
- 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 evenly combined to create a smooth base for your pancake batter.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed and smooth.
- Prepare Batter: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles to add bursts of color throughout.
- Heat Griddle: Preheat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Shape Pancakes: Place a heart-shaped pancake mold on the heated griddle. Pour the batter into the mold until it is about halfway full to allow room for rising.
- Cook First Side: Cook the pancake until bubbles begin to form on the surface, indicating it’s ready to flip. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully remove the mold, flip the pancake, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Serve: Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve pancakes warm with syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings for a delightful breakfast treat.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
- If you don’t have a heart-shaped mold, freehand pour the batter into heart shapes using a spoon.
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned griddle to prevent sticking.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
- Rainbow sprinkles can melt slightly when cooked—use generous mixing for the best effect.
