Bunny Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- butter for the griddle
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 2 bananas sliced into rounds
- pastel candy-coated chocolates for the cheeks
Instructions
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined; small lumps are fine.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with butter.
- For each bunny, pour one 1/2 cup round for the face and two 1/4 cup ovals for the ears.
- Cook until bubbles form across the surface and the edges look matte, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until golden and springy when pressed.
- Plate each face pancake with the two ear pancakes tucked just behind the top edge.
- Spoon whipped cream in the center of the face and set two banana slices below it for paws.
- Press a pastel candy on each banana slice and one more at the chin for a nose.
Good to Know
Mix the batter the night before and keep it covered in the fridge; whisk once more before it hits the griddle. Once the eggs are hunted and the plates are cleared, keep the energy going with a round or two from our Easter games for adults, so the grown-ups get their own version of the egg hunt.
