Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- To form the heart shape, squeeze the batter from a small squeeze bottle or use two spoons to carefully pour the batter onto the hot griddle in a heart shape. Start with the bottom point, then make two rounded humps at the top, and connect them with a slight dip in the center.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip carefully.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For the best shape, use a squeeze bottle filled with the batter.
- Keep the heat consistent for even browning.
- You can easily double this recipe for a larger group.
- Serve with fresh berries, whipped cream, or maple syrup for a beautiful presentation.
