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
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined to ensure an even distribution of leavening agents.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly to combine all wet components.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain pancake fluffiness. Then fold in the rainbow sprinkles evenly throughout the batter.
- Heat Cooking Surface: Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Shape Pancakes: Place a heart-shaped pancake mold on the heated griddle. Carefully pour the batter into the mold, filling it about halfway to allow room for rising.
- Cook First Side: Cook the pancake until bubbles begin to form on the surface, indicating that the underside is golden and cooked through enough to flip.
- Flip and Cook Second Side: Gently remove the mold and flip the pancake. Cook the other side until it is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Repeat and Serve: Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve the heart-shaped rainbow sprinkle pancakes warm, optionally topped with syrup or whipped cream for added sweetness.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Use non-stick spray or butter to grease the griddle to prevent sticking.
- For best results, keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the pancakes before they are cooked through.
- Optional toppings like maple syrup, honey, or whipped cream complement the sweet sprinkles beautifully.
- These pancakes can be made without the heart mold by simply pouring the batter directly onto the griddle for regular round pancakes.
