Heart Shaped Pancakes

Say "I Love You" with a yummy breakfast

Who doesn't love pancakes?  Say "I love you" to the loves in your life with some heart-shaped pancakes. In our household, we make pancakes on Sunday!  I am looking forward to trying these delicious pancakes for Valentine's Day this year.  Grab these simple ingredients and a heart-shaped cookie cutter, and get cooking!

  Ingredients

  •  2 cups pancake mix (choose your favorite-we like buckwheat mix)
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 2 teaspoons sugar

  Utensils 

  1. Griddle or frying pan
  2. Heart-Shaped Cookie cutter(s)
  3. Spatula  
  4. Done Plate

  Directions

  1. Heat griddle or pan (we use a griddle, as it gives a little more room)
  2. Place your heart shaped cookie cutter on the griddle
  3. Spray with non-stick cooking spray or put a teaspoon of butter down; be sure to spray the sides of the heart
  4. Mix your pancake mix, cold water, and sugar until blended and smooth-a thicker batter is better with the cookie cutters
  5. Use a 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup measuring cup to pour batter into the cookie cutter on the griddle
  6. Once the mix forms, remove the cookie cutter and flip your pancake (about 1-11/2 minutes per side)
  7. Continue till batter is used up
  8. Place the pancakes on a done plate and place them in a warm oven (I use the keep warm setting/lowest temp) till ready to serve and all pancakes are cooked

 If you don't have a heart-shaped cookie cutter, you can also place the batter into a squeeze bottle and freehand your hearts!
