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 all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Form Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep your pancakes light and fluffy. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles to distribute them evenly.
- Preheat Pan: Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Shape Pancakes: Place a heart-shaped pancake mold on the heated griddle. Pour the batter carefully into the mold until it fills halfway, allowing space for rising.
- Cook Pancakes: Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
- Serve: Remove the mold and transfer the pancake to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve warm with syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite pancake toppings.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
- Use a non-stick griddle or pan for best results and easier flipping.
- Grease the heart-shaped mold lightly to prevent sticking.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the amount of sprinkles to your liking for more or less color.
