Helpful Hint #925 – Cool Pancakes

Is it a special day? A birthday? Father’s Day? Fourth of July? Congrats on doing something good day? Hey, I just want to put a smile on your face day? Then serve up pancakes for breakfast!

Why pancakes? Because if you buy the Aunt Jemima- Complete, Just Add Water pancake mix, then you can have a fast and personal breakfast with pancake hearts or initials or baseballs or whatever you and your spoon decide to artfully make on the griddle. Just make the mix with water. Spray your flat griddle with Pam Butter Cooking Spray & warm it up to 350. Then use your spoon to make designs with your pancakes. Cook them like regular, flipping the pancakes when you see the bubbles on the top. Serve with butter & syrup. YUM!

For Father’s day this year, I spooned the letter D and hearts. The trick on making hearts is to start at the bottom of the heart and then make a big glob to the top-left. Then start at the bottom again, but this time make a big glob to the top-right.

I tried the idea of using cookie cutters to make the shapes before. Pouring the batter into the shape. But, the batter usually seeped out the bottom making just a regular circle pancake, but I could still see the heart shape inside the circle. You also can use cookie cutters to make shapes after you finish cooking your pancakes. This works well, but leaves rough edges and lots of pancake crumbles that go to waste.

So, I definitely recommend using your imagination and spooning rocket ships or flowers or cars or the letters C-O-O-L K-I-D and make it a special morning.
