Heart-shaped Pancakes


  1. Prepare your favorite pancake batter.

  2. These heart-shaped hotcakes take breakfast in bed to a new level. Think of a squeeze bottle filled with batter as your kitchen paintbrush: Squirt a heart outline on a hot griddle, let it start to set, and then flood it with more batter for charming less-than-perfect hotcakes.

  3. Drizzle with maple syrup or add your favorite toppings — whipped cream, chocolate chips, fresh fruit, nuts, etc.
