A simple and fun pancake recipe that kids can easily make, featuring fluffy heart-shaped pancakes perfect for family mornings and special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings or mix-ins: fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries), chocolate chips, powdered sugar, maple syrup

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Whisk until evenly blended, about 2 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 large egg, 1 ¼ cups milk, 3 tablespoons melted and cooled butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula just until combined; batter should be a little lumpy. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Fill a squeeze bottle or piping bag with the batter for shaping hearts. If unavailable, use a spoon.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until hot.
  6. Squeeze or spoon batter onto the skillet in heart shapes. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully with a thin spatula and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm with desired toppings. Keep leftovers warm in a low oven (200°F) if needed.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes for lighter pancakes. Use medium heat and grease skillet lightly with butter or oil on a paper towel. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges look set. If batter thickens, whisk in a tablespoon of milk. Using a squeeze bottle helps kids shape hearts more easily.
