Easter Sunday is just days away and this is a fun way to start off your day before heading out to Easter Mass or your Easter egg hunt.
I actually saw this idea on a commercial yesterday while watching TV. I can't even remember what the commercial was for, but they showed a child and his grandparents looking happily at a plate of bunny pancakes. That quick glimpse made me want to make some bunny pancakes for my own kids.
I literally made these with the fruits and ingredients I had at home so it was quick and easy this morning. I am certainly not a pancake artist, but the kids and I had so much fun coming up with a way to make the bunny face. The more I look at the pancakes the face looks like a cat...not a bunny. LOL! But hey.. just make your ears a little longer and you will have more of a bunny than I did.
Now, the bunny bottom is based on some quick internet searches I did while trying to figure out this whole thing. I saw several photos of pancakes showing what looks like a bunny bending into the ground with it's hind paws and tail sticking out. So, I thought the idea of a whipped cream tail and cute paws looked too cute not to try out.
The kids LOVED these pancakes, to say the least, and we had a ball making them. I hope they give you some ideas to make your Easter extra cute and fun.
Pancake Recipe Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbs white granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter (plus additional for greasing pan)
Instructions
1.
Mix the dry ingredient. Then mix the wet ingredients. Mix the dry
ingredients with the wet ingredients gently to form a batter without
over mixing.
2. Heat griddle or frying pan on medium heat and grease with some butter.
3. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to make a round circle for the face and bottom.
4. Use a small spoonful of batter to make the ears.
5. To make the paws and bunny nose make small and medium circles. I made the nose the size of quarters and the paws the size of lemons. Then decorate.
