Description
Soft and fluffy buttermilk pancakes shaped like an adorable bunny, perfect for Easter brunch, spring mornings, or a fun and creative breakfast for kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups (300 ml) buttermilk
1 large egg
2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for greasing the pan)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Whipped cream (for decoration)
Banana slices (for paws)
Chocolate chips or blueberries (for toes)
Strawberries (for nose or ears)
Maple syrup or honey, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are fine.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- For each bunny, pour batter to form 1 large pancake (body), 1 medium pancake (head), 2 oval pancakes (ears), and 2 small round pancakes (paws).
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Assemble by placing the large pancake on a plate as the body, the medium pancake above as the head, ears at the top, and paws at the bottom.
- Decorate the paws with banana slices and chocolate chips or blueberries for toes. Add whipped cream as the tail and strawberries for facial features.
- Drizzle with maple syrup or honey and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
To substitute buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to 1 1/4 cups milk and let sit for 5 minutes.
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freeze cooled pancakes in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
Reheat in a skillet, microwave (20–30 seconds), or toaster oven for crisp edges.
Store decorations separately and assemble just before serving.
