Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Maple syrup, for drizzling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of white sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups of milk, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
- Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to shape the pancakes into hearts if desired.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Serve the heart-shaped pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup and enjoy!
