Let’s Make it together

Prepare Your Batter: Start by whisking together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl until well combined. This dry mix should look light and airy.

Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps because nobody enjoys chewy pancakes

Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients gently while stirring until just combined. Remember not to overmix lumps are okay Your batter should be thick yet pourable.

Heat Up Your Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. You’ll know it’s ready when a drop of water sizzles on contact.

Pancake Time : Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. To create bunny shapes, use a smaller amount of batter to form ears by placing two smaller dollops near the top of each pancake.

Cook Until Golden Brown: Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set about 3-4 minutes then flip carefully and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

Now sit back, admire your creation, and prepare for some serious smiles
