Valentine's Day Pancakes You'll Fall in Love With

I'm excited to announce a Valentines Food Series for FFF, thanks to Mahek of Brown-Eyed Beauty. This week, get your tastebuds prepared for Valentines themed pancakes! It's the perfect way to say good morning, I heart you to your boyfriend (or roommate, or cat) this year. Everyone enjoy this recipe then head over to Brown-Eyed Beauty for more of her taste in food and fashion.

Valentine’s day can cause a range of emotions in people; they can either be extremely excited or extremely depressed! Well, I have the solution for all ranges of emotions, because obviously food can fix anything!

I have attached three valentine’s day recipes that you can make for your loved one, your best friend, or heck, yourself!

-Mahek

What you’ll need:

•   1.5 cup flour

•   3 tbsp. sugar

•   1.5 tsp. baking powder

•   1/2 teaspoon salt

•   1/4 tsp. baking soda

•   1 cup milk

•   4 tbsp. melted butter

•   1 egg

•   1 strawberry

•   heart-shaped cookie cutter

•   chocolate chips (if desired)

•   powdered sugar (if desired)

Instructions:

1)    Start off my mixing together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.

2)    In a different bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter, and egg. Then slowly mix this into the flour mix. (If you want, you can add in chocolate chips at this point.)

3)    Heat a skillet over medium-low heat with very little oil, and slowly pour in your mixture. About 1/4 cup should be perfect. Slowly use your spatula to spread the pancake out to make it big enough to fit your heart-shaped cookie cutter in.

4)    Cook both sides until brown.

5)    Take the pancake from the skillet onto a plate and then take the cookie cutter and press it down against the pancake.

6)    Once you’re satisfied with the shape, cut the top of the strawberry off and make a v-shaped cut at the top (this will make it look somewhat like a heart.)

7)    Slice the strawberries sideways so you don’t lose the shape of the heart, add it onto the pancake, and add some powdered sugar if you’d like.

Voila! There’s a simple valentine’s day breakfast!
