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
Mix-ins
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning agents.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing well until smooth and homogeneous.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid over-mixing. Carefully fold in the rainbow sprinkles to distribute them throughout the batter without breaking.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Use Pancake Mold: Place a heart-shaped pancake mold onto the heated griddle. Pour the batter into the mold, filling it about halfway to allow for rising.
- Cook First Side: Cook the pancake until bubbles start to form and appear on the surface, indicating readiness to flip.
- Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully remove the mold if needed, then flip the pancake and cook the other side until it turns a golden brown color.
- Repeat and Serve: Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup or whipped cream for a delightful presentation.
Notes
- For even cooking, ensure the griddle temperature is medium and consistent.
- Non-stick spray or a light brushing of butter/oil helps prevent sticking.
- Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Customize by adding chocolate chips or different colored sprinkles.
- Use a silicone heart-shaped mold for easy removal.
