Heart Shaped Mini Pancakes

Ingredients

1. 150 g plain flour
2. 1 tsp baking powder
3. Pinch of salt
4. Pinch of cinnamon powder (optional)
5. 2 tbsp caster sugar
6. 150 ml milk
7. 1 large egg, lightly beaten
8. 5-7 tbsp butter 
9. 2 tbsp melted butter
10. Heart shaped cookie cutter

To serve with: Maple or Caramel syrup

Instructions

Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon powder and caster sugar into a large bowl. 

In a separate bowl, lightly whisk together the milk, melted butter and egg.

Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture. With the help of a fork or a beater, beat until you have a smooth batter and there are no lumps in the mixture. 

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of butter. When it's melted, place the cookie cutter in the pan and then put a large spoonful of batter inside the cutter. 

When the top of the pancake begins to bubble and its all set, turn it over. You can remove the cookie cutter at this stage as the pancake will be set into its shape.

Cook until both sides are golden brown.

Serve with Maple or caramel syrup. Fresh fruit and whipped cream also go well with pancakes.

This recipe makes about 5-7 pancakes. It depends on how thick you make them.

Happy eating! :) 

PS: One of the heart pancakes in the picture above is cracked. Be careful while turning your pancakes otherwise yours will break too. :)
