My mom used to make me shaped pancakes on a Sunday morning, and let me tell you, it certainly makes you more interested in eating your breakfast. Here’s how I made these bunny ones for the kids on Easter.
Similar to my cinnamon vanilla waffle recipe, this one for pancakes is just as popular with my kids. Especially when you form them into fun shapes to eat.
ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
1-1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix all the ingredients together until just combined. If you need more milk, go for it – just don’t let it get runny. You want to be able to shape these things.
Heat a pan over medium high heat, I like to melt some butter in there for flavor, but you certainly don’t have to. To make the bunny – use a large Tablspoonspoonful of batter and start with the head – making a nice oval shape.
Then use half the Tablespoon and pull up one ear.
Then the other. Once you know the pancake is ready to flip – gently turn it over and you should have a nice little bunny head.
I used small pink heart quinns for the nose and black POKER quinns for the eyes.
Obviously, you can make any shape, but bunnies are easy and fun…and recognizable!!
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
I tried to do the same thing with chocolate chip cookies – thought it would be fun for the kids. (Let’s just take a moment to recognize that we don’t celebrate Easter, but bunnies are cute.) I made cute little bunny shapes, baked them, and… now they look like cute little bears. Oh well! I’ll try pancakes next time.
Those are so cute. I’ll have to remember to make these the next time I make pancakes.
oh my! what a perfect breakfast! i love those bunny pancakes, too cute to eat! ~ lil sis
