This is my children’s favorite pancake, which I found the recipe in Cookpad. The idea of a face pancake is also from Cookpad.
I often make this fun pancakes with my daughter who loves drawing.
Canada pancake by J-dog ( 10-12 servings)
ingredients:
- 1 + 1/3 cup All purpose flour ( Approximately 220g )
- 3 tsp baking powder ( 14g)
- 3 Tbsp sugar (35g)
- 1/2 tsp salt ( 3g)
- 1 large egg ( 50g)
- 1 +1/4 cup milk ( 300 g)
- 3 Tbsp melted butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
1. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in the large bowl until well combined.
2. Add the egg and milk in the flour mixture and mix using a stand mixer until incorporated.
3. Add the melted butter and vanilla in the batter and mix it again with the stand mixer until smooth.
4. Pour some batter into a small zip-lock and cut one corner about 2-3 mm.
5. Draw any pictures you want on a griddle, which is OFF.
6. Now turn on the heat at 350F for 3 minutes around until the batter turn to golden brown, that is very important!
********If you don’t wait, you will get a blurry face pancake like the picture above.*****************
7. Pour more batter into the face to fill it out.
8 Wait for a few more minutes until cooked.
* Note Small children can’t make this pancake on the second batch because the griddle is hot. Please be careful when you cook with your children.
