Holiday Pancakes

November 23, 2012 By Francois Leave a Comment

Let’s start this Black Friday with a breakfast that will put everyone in holiday mood. Here is a great way to add any design to your pancakes without having to spend $20 on pancake molds. All you need is a few squeeze bottles, food coloring and a little imagination. Here is how to do it:

 Start by making about 3 cups of pancake batter. Don’t bother making your own, Krusteaz works great =):

Follow directions, then add a little more water (about 1/2 cup) to make the batter a bit more runny. Here is the consistency you’re looking for:

Pour a third of that batter in a separate bowl and add red food coloring:

Mix well and pour batter into squeeze bottles:

I am using 2 types of squirt bottles. Small bottles with small tips to “draw” and a large bottle with a wider opening to quickly fill blank areas with batter.

By now I am sure you realize that I use squeeze bottles for a lot of projects. At less than $1 a bottle, they make a great investment.

Now let’s make those pancakes. We will start with candy canes. Preheat a nonstick pan to medium low heat. Using your small squeeze bottle, draw the outer shape of a candy cane:

Draw red lines:

Fill the empty spots with plain batter using the large bottle:

Cook until bubbles start to pop and flip:

Ok the shape is a little off but I got better with practice. =)

Now let’s try stockings. First red:

Then white:

Fill the blanks:

And flip it:

For the final touch, let’s make pancake letters. All you have to do is write them backwards:

Done!

Happy Shopping!!!
