Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed, then gently fold in the strawberries.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown. Keep warm.
Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack an egg into the cutter and cook until the white is set. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with fresh herbs.
Serve the pancakes stacked high with the heart-shaped eggs on the side. Enjoy your romantic breakfast!
Tips for the Perfect Pancakes
To achieve the fluffiest pancakes, make sure not to over-mix the batter. A few lumps are perfectly fine, as they will cook out during the cooking process. Additionally, allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes before cooking. This lets the ingredients meld together and results in a lighter pancake.
When cooking, use a non-stick skillet and ensure it’s properly preheated. If the skillet isn’t hot enough, the pancakes may turn out dense instead of fluffy. A little trick is to sprinkle a few drops of water on the skillet; if they sizzle, it’s ready for the batter.
Variations on Heart-Shaped Eggs
While heart-shaped eggs are a charming addition to your Valentine's breakfast, you can easily customize them to fit your partner’s taste. Try adding cheese, diced veggies, or even a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy twist. You can also experiment with different cooking methods, such as scrambling the eggs within the heart shape for a fun variation.
Another idea is to make mini heart-shaped frittatas using a muffin tin. Just pour the egg mixture into the tin, add your favorite ingredients, and bake until set. This not only adds variety but also allows you to prepare multiple servings at once, making it perfect for a larger breakfast gathering.
