These pretty and very delicious Valentines inspired pancakes are brought to you today by my daughter, Kelly. Earlier this morning I was working out and Kelly came down with a plate in her hand and said “Mom, here is a Valentine breakfast idea for your blog.” Don’t you just love when your kids are so cute and thoughtful? I stopped working out and came upstairs to take pictures.
You can make any pancake batter you like ( I am including our favorite pancake recipe below. ) Add red food coloring until you get a pink color, then cook them on a hot griddle.
Cut a heart shape from a scrap piece of cardboard. Place in the center of each pancake and sift powdered sugar on. 
Creme Fraiche Pancakes
- 2 cups crème fraiche or sour cream (we have always used sour cream)
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup flour
- 2 TBS sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 TBS unsalted butter, melted
- Vanilla extract
1. Combine sour cream, eggs, flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Blend on high speed until well mixed, about 20 seconds. Stir in melted butter.
2. Ladle a mixture on griddle in small circles to form pancakes.
3. Flip when bubbles appear.
Diane & Kelly-

oh my…those look so good. I am going to have to make them thank you for posting….:)
Don’t daughters just have the best hearts. I love the way my girls are already nuturing, and it seems that your daughter is also. Tell her I love this idea, she is very clever just like her sweet momma. Hope you guys have a great weekend.

Thanks for stopping by just now! I love your blog– and I love this recipe! We have just about all the ingredients in house, so I might have to try this for the baby in the morning; tomorrow is her 17 month birthday (yes, we’re still at the stage where we mark every single month!).
So many great ideas here! Off to look around some more!
