Heart Pancakes
What You Need:
1) Flour - 2 cups, sifted.
2) Salt - 1 tsp.
3) Sugar - 2 tbsp. (optional)
4) Baking powder - 4 tsp.
5) Eggs - 2, lightly beaten.
6) Milk (or buttermilk) - 1 3/4 cups.
7) Butter/margarine - 4 tbsp.
How to Make:
 1) Preheat griddle over moderate heat. In the meantime, mix the batter. Sift flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a large-sized bowl (use a real sifter, if you can). Combine egg, milk, and butter in a separate bowl and slowly stir dry. Mix well so lumps won't stick together while you cook.
2) Begin cooking when the griddle gets quite hot. Pour some of the batter into the griddle and get it cooked. Get some help from your parents and bake a regular round pancake from your batter. Using the remaining batter, continue baking small round pancakes in this way.
3) Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out a perfectly shaped heart from each round pancake piece.
4) Top each cake piece with fresh berries and maple syrup.
