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
Other
- 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 well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly to create the wet batter base.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Then fold in the rainbow sprinkles carefully to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Heat the pan: Preheat a griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Shape the pancakes: Place a heart-shaped pancake mold on the heated griddle. Pour batter into the mold, filling it about halfway to allow pancakes to rise properly.
- Cook first side: Cook the pancake until bubbles start to form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and cook other side: Carefully remove the mold, flip the pancake with a spatula, and cook the other side until golden brown, around 2 minutes more.
- Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.
- Serve: Serve the heart-shaped sprinkle pancakes warm topped with syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite pancake accompaniments.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Adjust griddle temperature as needed to prevent burning.
- Use non-stick spray or butter to grease the pan for easy pancake release.
- Rainbow sprinkles add color but may melt slightly during cooking.
- Heart-shaped molds can be substituted with other shapes or poured freeform on pan.
