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!
