Heart Shaped Love on a Plate

Happy Valentines Day! I know I already blogged about my heart-shaped fried eggs for my fabulous breakfast tacos. But I couldn't resist posting what I lovingly made for my hubby this morning.

Heart-Shaped Pancakes 'n Eggs
1 cup flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup pureed pumpkin
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl, in a different bowl mix the wet ingredients together then fold the wet into the dry ingredients. Mix til there are little to no clumps in the batter. If the batter is too thick add more milk, if it is too wet add a bit more flour. Grease your pan and put it on medium-high heat. Put your heart-shaped cookie cutter onto the pan and pour the mixture in the cookie cutter just so the batter fills the bottom.  You don't want to fill the cookie cutter up too high or the pancake takes too long to cook. Once the pancake starts to bubble, flip over and lightly push the pancake down, releasing the cookie cutter. Continue until all of your batter is used.

Then use the same pan and cookie cutter for your eggs, re-grease the pan and crack your egg into the cookie cutter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover with a lid. Once the egg is starting to whiten on top the egg is done.

Plate your yummy breakfast together and your honey or sweet kiddos will be pleasantly surprised!

Happy Valentines day everyone! xoxo Lo
