I heart you pancakes
What’s better than pancakes hot off the stove and drizzled in maple syrup? Heart-shaped pancakes, of course! Yum, yum, yum.
Recipe time!
Ingredients:
– 120g plain flour
– 2 eggs
– Pinch of salt
– 210ml milk
– 90ml water
– Red food dye
Method:
– Mix your salt and flour in a bowl and make a well
– Crack both eggs into the well and mix
– Add your water and milk gradually, stirring as you go
– Add your food dye until you get a colour you’re happy with
– Batter up! Fry both sides in a bit of butter then turn out onto a plate
– Cut out heart shapes, lay them out right nice on the plate and sit back to watch as your other half enjoys the lot.
Hot tip:
Use liquid dye rather than gel. The colour will come up better and you won’t end up with pancakes with a weird hue. (I think mine look a little bit like uncooked bacon. Appetising!)

Thanks! I’m a bit dubious about the colour, but they did taste lovely. At least I have time to perfect the dye job before the big day. What else are you cooking for your breakfast?
