On to some more good things.
A few weeks ago, my Relief Society president asked me to demo "Pancake Art" at a Relief Society activity. She had seen a segment on Rachael Ray about it and thought the sisters in our ward might enjoy it. I studied the art, practiced a bit and the demo was a success. Halloween turned out to be a great time to put it into good use. Nothing like Jack-o-lantern pumpkins to kick off a Happy Halloween. I think we'll be using pancake art for birthdays and other holidays. I'm sure your kids will love it.
Directions for Pancake Art
You will need:
Regular Pancake Batter
Food coloring or natural preserves to color the batter
Empty condiment bottles
- Mix regular pancake mix thinner than normal. Make sure that all the lumps are out. I ran mine through the blender.
- Use empty condiment bottles for the batter. Make sure the tip is wide enough that the batter can pass through.
- Use preserves or chocolate syrup to color the mix. I went with a little food coloring to make the colors bright.
- Heat griddle well so that the batter will cook quickly. Make outer edges of figures first and fill in with batter after. Cook different pieces of your figure separately (ie; pumpkin, mouth, stem will be cooked separately).
- Put the design together when you plate the pancakes.
- Use chocolate chips or sprinkles to decorate. Enjoy!
We also did a butterfly to celebrate our Halloween costumes!
Hope your Halloween was successful and you've figured out how to get rid of all that extra candy!
