Bunny Booty Pancakes

It’s all about the shape of the bunny and the butter in the batter!

Ingredients 

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions

Preheat griddle over medium-high heat. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Combine egg, milk and melted butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

For each bunny, make a pancake 4 in. wide for the body, a pancake 2-1/2 in. wide for the head, two small oval-shaped pancakes for the feet and two small triangular pancakes for the ears. Spoon batter onto griddle; cook until bubbles form on top of pancakes. Turn; cook until second side is golden brown.

Tip: A squeeze bottle filled with pancake batter is the perfect thing for getting just the right shapes. It’s also a great way for little helpers to get creative.

To form bunny, place ears at the top of a plate. Place head slightly overlapping the bottom of the ears; top with body slightly overlapping head, and feet slightly overlapping body. Place a banana slice on each foot and arrange mini chocolate chips at the end of each foot for toes. Add a dollop of whipped cream on body just above the feet; sprinkle with coconut for the tail. Serve immediately. Served with warm maple or berry syrup. We have a great selection.
