Spider Web Pancakes

Children love both pancakes and Halloween. This is such a fun and easy way to combine your Nanny Kid’s love of their favorite breakfast for Halloween. Homemade pancakes with fresh ingredients taste so much better than using a pancake mix, but the kids aren’t likely to care which recipe you use. Don’t forget to visit my storefront to purchase all the kitchen supplies nannies love to use.

You Will Need:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

What to Do:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg.

3. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture. Whisk until just moistened. Do not overmix. A few small lumps are fine.

4. Line a large pitcher or bowl with gallon-size resealable food-storage plastic bag. Pour batter into bag; seal bag, pressing out air.

5. Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.

6. Cut 1/4-inch hole in one bottom corner of bag. For each pancake, gently squeeze bag to pipe about 2 tablespoons batter onto hot griddle in 4-inch spider web shape.

7. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until pancakes are puffed and dry around edges. Turn pancakes; cook about 1 minute longer or until other side is golden brown. Serve with syrup.
