Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Makes 4 reindeer pancakes (serves 2 to 4)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 4 strips cooked bacon
  • 8 blackberries
  • 4 strawberries halved

Instructions

  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg and melted butter together.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until a few lumps remain.
  • Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  • For each reindeer, pour one large pancake (about 1/2 cup batter) and two small pancakes (about 2 tablespoons batter each) for the ears.
  • Cook until bubbles form across the surface and the edges look dry, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden on both sides.
  • Arrange one large pancake with two small pancakes tucked behind it for ears, and two half-strips of bacon crossed above for antlers.
  • Place two blackberries for eyes and one strawberry half for the nose on each face.

Good to Know

Mix the dry ingredients the night before and store in a sealed container, so Christmas morning only needs the wet ingredients stirred in.
