Surprise dad with special pancakes that show you how much he means. Pancake art breakfast that he’ll never forget. And so easy!
{Keep It Simple Sweetheart} stencil pancake art
Make pancakes as usual, but use a stencil for the powdered sugar. Cut a heart shape out of paper, use stencil letters or even the kid’s letter magnets on the fridge to spell DAD.
{easy breezy} pancake shapes
Use a pancake pen, writer bottle or a squeeze bottle (like a mustard bottle) to draw the outline of the letters or shapes, and then fill them in.
Sift the pancake mix so you won’t get lumps. If you do get a lump, don’t squeeze harder – remove it with a toothpick.
Prevent the batter from oozing out like a volcano by:
- mixing batter in a bowl and filling pancake pen with a funnel
- only filling container 3/4 full
- don’t let the batter sit too long in the squeeze bottle
