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
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, then fold in the rainbow sprinkles carefully.
- Preheat Griddle: Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Use Heart-shaped Mold: Place a heart-shaped pancake mold on the griddle, then pour batter into the mold, filling it halfway to allow room for rising.
- Cook Pancakes: Cook the pancake until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then carefully flip the mold to cook the other side until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the mold, continue cooking remaining batter using the same method, and serve the pancakes warm with syrup or whipped cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy and tender.
- Using a non-stick griddle or pan helps prevent sticking, especially when using molds.
- Adjust cooking heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring they’re cooked through.
- Rainbow sprinkles add color and sweetness but can be substituted with chocolate chips or fruit for variation.
- These pancakes are best served fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven if preparing in batches.
