These fluffy heart shaped pancakes with strawberries are an easy homemade recipe perfect for Valentine’s Day or any cozy morning. They feature whipped egg whites for extra fluff and are topped with fresh strawberries and maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (180ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Maple syrup or honey, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Using an electric hand mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful to keep as much air as possible.
  6. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  7. If using a heart-shaped mold, place it on the skillet and pour batter inside about ¾ full. If freehanding, carefully pour batter into a heart shape using the back of a spoon.
  8. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Remove the mold if used, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  9. Serve immediately stacked, topped with sliced strawberries and drizzled with maple syrup or honey.

Notes

Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form for extra fluffiness. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes tender. Use medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk. To keep pancakes warm, place in a low oven (200°F / 90°C).
