We decided it was time to get up when we both had to pee. I know, that was too much information. With the big boys gone, the Lego came back out, we watched "The Fox and the Hound". Of course while the movie was playing I was able to sneak into the Little Kitchen to mix up some pancakes. Nephew wanted to help with the flipping but I was worried about the hot griddle and such...he did have fun watching though. Using my intergalactic pancake moulds can be tricky though.

Put together your favourite pancake recipe. I used this one today.
Pre heat the griddle and oil up the moulds and place them on the griddle to heat up.
If you have a pancake pen, load it up with batter. If not use about 1/4 cup of batter per mould and a knife to help spread the batter into all the nooks and crannies.
Cook the pancakes until all bubbly and dry on the edges. You will have to cook the pancakes longer on the first the side than you normally would.
If the pancakes happen to stick to the edges of the mould, use a knife to scrape and push the pancake out.
Flip and finish cooking.
Transfer to a baking sheet in a warm oven to keep until all the batter is cooked and made into pancakey goodness.

OMG, those are such cute shapes.
ReplyDeleteHow. Cool. Are. Those? !!
ReplyDeleteNow those are memories your Nephew will never forget. I can't believe I'm going to admit this, but I tried to make pancake shapes before......only I used my plastic cookie cutters:/ BTW, those don't work on a really hot grill. Unless you don't mind the taste of melted plastic:) I need to invest in some proper shapes it seems.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun!!! Yoda looks the best hahaha :)
ReplyDeletePure awesome!
ReplyDeleteBreakfast at your house is definitely more interesting than breakfast at mine :-). My grandsons would like these. This is my first visit to your site and I've spent some time browsing through your earlier entries. I really like the food and recipes you feature here and I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteFor me I really LOVE pancakes in the morning, and I fill them with strawberry jam yummyyy, it's great to change the shape for the boys :)
ReplyDeleteThese pancake molds are totally hilarious! I love them! My parents had santa ones for christmastime, but otherwise they were always round. Snore...
