Instructions

Make the Pancake Batter

In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, egg, and melted butter. Combine both mixtures and add red food coloring if desired.

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Use a heart-shaped mold to pour the batter and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook until golden brown.

Prepare the Fruit Salad

In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries, blueberries, and diced watermelon. Drizzle with honey and toss gently. Garnish with mint leaves.

Serve

Plate the heart-shaped pancakes with a side of fruit salad. Drizzle with maple syrup and enjoy a romantic breakfast!

Enjoy your breakfast with your loved one!

Pro Tips

Try adding whipped cream or chocolate chips to the pancakes for an extra treat.

Tips for the Perfect Pancakes

To achieve perfectly fluffy pancakes, ensure that you do not overmix the batter. A few lumps are perfectly okay; they will help maintain the light texture of the pancakes. Additionally, preheating your skillet is essential for a good cook. A drop of water should sizzle when the pan is ready, indicating it's time to pour in your batter.

If you don't have a heart-shaped mold, don't worry! You can create a heart shape by pouring the batter in a circular motion and then using a spatula to shape it. This way, you can still enjoy the spirit of Valentine's Day without the need for special tools.

Enhancing Your Fruit Salad

Fruit salads are incredibly versatile, and you can mix and match fruits based on your partner's favorites or what's in season. Adding a splash of lime juice can elevate the flavors and add a refreshing zing. You can also incorporate other fruits like kiwi or mango to add variety and color to your dish.

Consider serving the fruit salad in individual cups or bowls to make it more appealing. This presentation not only looks beautiful but also makes it easy for you and your loved one to enjoy a bite-sized treat alongside the pancakes.
