American pancakes for Valentine's Day
Description
This recipe is great because it turns the simplest ingredients and an ordinary frying pan into surprisingly "heart-shaped" pancakes. They come out very tender and unusually fluffy. Definitely give them a try. If you don't have heart-shaped cutters, you can bake round pancakes and then cut out hearts. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
