How to Serve Heart-Shaped Pancakes

Serve these pancakes on a nice plate, stacking a few on top of each other for a beautiful presentation. Place the fruity kabobs alongside or on top of the pancakes. You can also drizzle some honey or syrup over the pancakes for added sweetness. A sprinkle of powdered sugar on top makes it look even prettier!

How to Store Heart-Shaped Pancakes

If you have leftovers, you can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat them in a microwave or toaster for a quick breakfast any day after Valentine’s Day.

Tips to Make Heart-Shaped Pancakes

• Make sure the skillet is hot enough before you add the batter for even cooking.
• Use a non-stick spray or butter in the cookie cutter to prevent sticking.
• Add chocolate chips or nuts to the pancake batter for extra flavor and texture.

Variation

You can customize the pancakes by adding various toppings like whipped cream, yogurt, or different types of fruits. For a healthier option, try using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.

FAQs

1. Can I make the pancake batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the fridge. Just stir it again before using.

2. What other fruits can I use for the fruit kabobs?
You can use any fresh fruit you like, such as banana slices, melon, or kiwi. Just make sure they are firm enough to stay on the skewers.

3. How can I make the pancakes gluten-free?
