Pancake scribbler - drawing with pancake batter

"What do you want for breakfast?"

I ask my kids this every morning. Usually I get a blank stare or an "I don't know." 

Sometimes they will get creative and invent a new type of pancake batter, or smoothie. Sometimes they request chocolate cake waffles, or just cake.  

This time they requested "pancakes in different shapes." 

I don't know about you but I am not a pancake artist.  My pancake talents stretch as far as Mickey Mouse ears.

But this time I had a Great Idea!!! Instead of pouring on the pancakes, Squirt 'em on!

I had an extra mustard container hanging around my house. You can pick these up at the dollar store. 

I snipped the top to make the opening large enough for the thick batter and funnelled in my batter.  

  

It worked like a charm!

Now I can make whatever shapes I want, as long as they are flippable.

I thought about writing "good morning" but soon realized that I would need an extra wide spatula to flip such words. I settled with the more convenient "Hi" pancake for my hubby.

 I made the boys letter pancakes and they ate them up and asked for more. And with my picky eaters, that's saying something!

S for Simon.


Simple, quick, cheap, and fun!   You have to try this!
