Valentine’s Day Pancakes

Filed under: Cooking for Kids

 (Written by Fiona, age 10.)

Here’s a tasty breakfast kids can make for Valentine’s day – pink pancakes!

It’s easy! Just add a few drops of red food coloring to the pancake batter when you’re stirring it. The batter turns pink! Then serve your pinkalicious Valentine pancakes with whipped cream and strawberries for a yummy Valentine’s breakfast.

To make heart-shaped pancakes, just pour the batter into a heart-shaped cookie cutter:

You might need a grown-up’s help to flip the pancake. And when you’re done, voila! A heart-shaped pancake:
