SWEET HEART PANCAKES (now with more puns!)

Maybe a little late for valentine's day breakfast, here is my instructable for special heart-shaped pancakes. this is also my submission to the "Sweet Treats Contest," so please be sure to rate, comment, vote, etc.

This is a very simple process, so i will try to keep this short and sweet.

Step 1 BATTER UP

for this you will need your standard pancake making equipment and materials, whatever they may be. i am using a pyrex measuring bowl, a whisk (my dad always used a fork), and pancake mix. if you will be going for the optional step you will also need a red food coloring and another small bowl.

Mix the batter so that it's runny and kind of thin, which is how i typically make it anyway. this will help you to have better control when you are pouring. make sure there are no clumps or chunks in the batter, because this will definitely hinder your ability to pour smoothly and artisticly.

You can also put the batter into something like an old, washed out ketchup bottle to be able to be more exact with pouring the heart.

That's a great idea! I have a clear plastic bottle with a fine point that we use for cooking oil, one of those would be perfect. They're with the kitchen gadgets at the grocery store.

Cute idea! Reminds of me of one of the first Instructables I ever read - one about putting things like rocket ships and initials for his son on the pancakes. Some how, I never thought of making the design a different colour, though. I'll keep this in mind for mother's day this weekend! -
