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
- Butter or oil for greasing the griddle or pan
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined to create the dry pancake base.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, thoroughly mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to form the wet mixture.
- Make Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles carefully to distribute them evenly without breaking.
- Preheat Pan: Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Use Heart-Shaped Mold: Position a heart-shaped pancake mold on the heated griddle. Pour the batter into the mold, filling it halfway to allow room for rising.
- Cook First Side: Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip Pancakes: Carefully remove the mold and flip the pancake. Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat and Serve: Repeat the process with remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite syrup or whipped cream for an extra special touch.
Notes
- Use a non-stick griddle or pan to make flipping easier and avoid sticking.
- If you don’t have a heart-shaped mold, you can shape pancakes freehand or use other molds.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
- Adjust heat as necessary to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning.
- Rainbow sprinkles add fun color but you can substitute with chocolate chips or blueberries if preferred.
