Heat a non-stick frying pan and lightly grease with oil or butter.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the hot pan. Let it cook undisturbed, till bubbles appear on the surface.
Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter. To make it extra special for Valentine’s Day, either try to pour the batter in a free form heart shape. Or make round pancakes and use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut into little heart pancakes.
Serve warm with Maple syrup or honey. You can also try cream.
