Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Decoration
- Mini chocolate chips or fruit slices
Instructions
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined. This helps evenly distribute the leavening agent and sugar.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the whole milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous, ensuring the melted butter is fully incorporated.
- Combine mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
- Preheat griddle: Place a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Shape pancakes: Pour batter onto the griddle to form one large circle for the bunny’s head and two smaller circles above it for the ears, carefully spacing them to resemble a bunny shape.
- Cook pancakes: Let the pancakes cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form and the bottoms turn golden brown. Before flipping, place mini chocolate chips or fruit slices on the pancakes to decorate the bunny’s face and ears.
- Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fully cooked and golden on the other side.
- Serve warm: Remove pancakes from the griddle and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes; slight lumps are okay.
- You can substitute whole milk with a milk alternative like almond or oat milk if desired.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free all-purpose flour.
- Use fruit slices such as banana, strawberry, or blueberry for a fun and healthier decoration.
- If you don’t have a griddle, a large non-stick skillet over medium heat works perfectly.
