Animal Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat greased electric griddle to 350°F.
• Prepare pancake batter as directed on package, whisking the dry gelatin mix into the liquid ingredients 2 min. or until gelatin is dissolved before adding to the pancake mix.
• Ladle batter onto hot griddle, using about 1/2 cup batter for each animal face. Cook until bubbles form on tops, then turn to brown other sides. Use remaining batter to make small pancakes in the shapes of ears and noses as desired, using about 1-1/2 Tbsp. batter for each ear or nose.
• Arrange pancake pieces on each serving plate to resemble desired animal. Decorate with fruit.
• Melt chocolate as directed on package; spoon into small resealable plastic bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to add stripes, spots or whiskers to the animal faces as desired.

Steps:

• Prepare pancake mix per box instructions.
• Heat a nonstick pan or pancake griddle on medium heat. For large pancakes, pour 1 cup (235 ml) of batter onto the pan. For small pancakes, pour a little less than ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter onto the pan. For medium pancakes, pour ⅓ cup (80 ml) of batter onto the pan.
• Allow to cook until bubbles form and begin to pop all around the pancake. The pancake will also lose its shiny sheen and begin to look more matte. Flip and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly browned.
