Making Strawberry Heart Topped Mini Pancake Stacks is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Strawberries: Begin by hulling the strawberries and slicing them into heart shapes. Set them aside for later.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
5. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Stack the Pancakes: Once cooked, place the pancakes on a plate and stack them in groups of two or three.
8. Add Strawberries: Top each stack with the heart-shaped strawberries. Arrange them creatively for a beautiful presentation.
9. Serve with Syrup: Drizzle with maple syrup and, if desired, add a dollop of whipped cream to finish.

By following these steps, you’ll create beautiful and delicious Strawberry Heart Topped Mini Pancake Stacks that everyone will adore.
