Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 ¼ cups milk plus a splash more if needed
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup Valentine’s-themed sprinkles pink, red, white, or heart-shaped
- Whipped cream syrup, fresh strawberries, or melted chocolate (optional toppings)
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture.
- Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine. Add a splash of milk if the batter is too thick.
- Fold in the Valentine’s sprinkles gently to avoid color bleeding.
- Use a ladle or measuring cup to pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
- Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F (93°C) oven to keep them warm while you cook the rest.
- Stack pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, syrup, strawberries, or melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle a few extra Valentine’s sprinkles for decoration.
- Enjoy!
