Heart-Shaped Pancakes




We love pancakes! For Valentine's day last year and this year, I cooked heart-shaped pancakes. The mixture I used came directly off allrecipes.com called "Good Old Fashioned Pancakes". Since we are using deciliters, I will post the recipe using this type of measurement instead.


Ingredients

All Purpose Flour, 3.5 deciliters
Baking Powder, 3 ½ teaspoons
Salt, 1 teaspoon
White Sugar, 1 tablespoon
Milk, 3 deciliters
Egg, 1 medium-sized
Butter (melted), 3 tablespoons







Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. Pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Mix until smooth. One can opt to use a Kitchen Aid, set to lowest for at least 30 seconds or until mixture becomes well-blended together.
  4. On the picture above, I first heated a heart-shaped cast iron pan I purchased from coolstuff.se. In Swedish, it is called Hjärtformad Stekpanna, which can be bought directly online and sent to your doorstep in a matter of days. 
  5. Over medium heat, I sprayed and covered the pan with a bit of butter and scooped a small amount of the pancake batter onto the frying pan.
  6. Wait until one side has turned brown. 
  7. Turn the pan upside down onto another pan (as seen) on the upper part of the picture above, and the other side will be already fried as heart-shaped pancakes. Make sure that this other pan also has butter or oil on it, as you would fry a normal pancake.
  8. Serve warm with maple syrup and tea or coffee for better digestion.




Last year, this came as a surprise. It was a special Valentine's collection of Lindt of Switzerland and Marabou. It was also definitely a chocolate-filled and heart-shaped pancake day.
