Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Bunny-shaped cookie cutters

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour small rounds of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Shape the Bunnies: Let the pancakes cool slightly, then use bunny-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the shapes.
  6. Serve: Arrange the bunny pancakes on a plate and serve with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar, or whipped cream

Notes

  1. Batter Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out. It should be pourable but not runny.
  2. Perfect Pancakes: Cook on medium heat to avoid burning. Flip the pancakes when bubbles form on the surface.
  3. Cookie Cutter Hack: Let the pancakes cool slightly before using the bunny-shaped cookie cutters to avoid tearing.
  4. Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the batter the night before and store it in the fridge for a quick morning breakfast.
