Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsps melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 2 tbsps granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Mini chocolate chips or fruit slices (for decoration)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring even distribution of flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt through thorough whisking.
- In a separate container, blend milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until achieving a uniform, silky consistency.
- Delicately incorporate wet ingredients into dry mixture, using gentle folding motions to prevent overworking the batter, which could result in tough pancakes.
- Warm a griddle to medium heat (approximately 350°F), applying a light coating of cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Strategically pour batter to create a large circular base representing the bunny’s head, followed by two elongated shapes positioned as ears.
- Allow pancakes to cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear slightly dry, typically 2-3 minutes at medium heat.
- Embellish with chocolate chips or fruit slices before carefully flipping to achieve a golden-brown exterior on both sides.
- Transfer completed bunny-shaped pancakes to a serving plate, arranging decorative elements to enhance the playful rabbit design.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally accompanied by maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional toppings for a festive Easter breakfast.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent batter texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter, which can lead to tough, dense pancakes; mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Create bunny shapes by carefully controlling batter pour and using a squeeze bottle or piping bag for precise ear and face details.
- Customize pancakes for dietary needs by substituting gluten-free flour, dairy-free milk, or using alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
