Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Baking powder
  • 2 1/2 Cups Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 10 tbsp Butter melted, reserve 2 tbsp and set aside
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Step 1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. 
    Step 2. Line an 18" x 13" baking pan with parchment paper and brush with 2 tbsp of melted butter. 
    Step 3. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in one bowl. 
    Step 4. In another microwave safe bowl, add your milk, remaining 8 tbsp of butter, and microwave just until the butter has melted. Microwave 20-30 seconds at a time, stir to melt the butter and continue in the microwave for added time if necessary.
    Step 5. Mix your eggs with the milk and butter mixture until incorporated. 
    Step 6. Pour your egg/milk/butter mixture in the bowl with the flour, stir until just mixed, do not overmix. 
    Step 7. Pour pancaker batter evenly over your baking sheet. Smooth evenly with a spatula. Give it a light pound against your countertop to get out any air bubbles. 
    Step 8. Bake for a total of 20 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven. Rotate in between time. At 20 minutes, the pancake will look very pale but it will be done (check by lightly touching the tops, if it springs back it is done). To give it some color on top, set your oven to broil and rotate the pan a couple of minutes. Make sure to watch it so the top does not burn. 
    Step 9. Remove the pan from the oven, allow to cool until you can remove the sheet pan from the parchment. 
    Step 10. Use your bear cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Our is large, about 4.6" tall so it make about 6. You can make more bears with smaller cutters. 
    Step 11. With your leftover scraps, cut out mini heart shapes with a small 1" heart cookie cutter. Ice with frosting (we used store-bought) and add sprinkles on top.
