Art Pancakes
On Sundays I usually make pancakes for breakfast with the kids. This week inspired by Dave Spencer’s Be a Breakfast Hero instructable, we took the pancakes to a new level.
At first I found I could make some rough face shapes just by pouring the mixture into the pan but to make the more advanced shapes, I had to make a stiffer mixture and used an icing bag to squeeze it out. Mine aren’t as good as Dave’s.
FYI, my pancake mixture is:
- 1 cup self raising flour
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- pinch of salt
Just mix it all up, it’s pretty simple. Even my kids can do it.
Here’s some pictures. You can all laugh at our bed-hair!
Thanks for the inspiration Dave!
I know this is an old post, but my son loves it when I put food dye into the waffles and pancakes I make: green, purple, and especially orange(his favorite). And speaking of orange, you can improve the the flavor of your pancakes by adding a “dash” or two of cinnamon and some orange juice — be careful that you manage the viscosity of your batter though!
