Bear’s paws-itively perfect pancakes
Fix up a treat for cubs of all ages with these bear-shaped pancakes!
Make your mornings even more scrumptious with pancakes that look just like Bear himself. Chef’s hats at the ready, it’s time to get stacking!
What you’ll need:
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- Butter/oil for the pan
Make it extra special
- Chocolate chips
- Banana slices
- Syrup
What to do:
1. Mix your batter
Grab a bowl and whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet mix into the dry and stir gently. Don’t worry about tiny lumps, they’re totally fine.
2. Warm up the pan
Pop a nonstick pan on mediumlow heat. Give it a light slick of butter or oil so nothing sticks.
3. Make your bear shape
You’re creating one big circle for the head and two little circles for the ears.
Head: Pour a medium circle of batter into the pan (around 10–12 cm). Let it cook until you see bubbles forming on top.
Ears: Spoon two small circles of batter at the top of the head. Place them close so they touch – they’ll join together as they cook.
Flip: When the edges look set, flip the whole bear in one smooth, gentle move.
Cook for another 30–60 seconds on the other side.
4. Add the cute face (optional but adorable)
A few simple toppings do the trick:
- Eyes: 2 chocolate chips
- Nose: 1 chocolate chip or a tiny banana slice
- Muzzle: A mini pancake circle made from a small spoonful of batter
- Mouth: A drizzle of chocolate syrup or a little piece of fruit
5. Serve up
Slide your bear pancakes onto a plate and tuck in! (Bonus points if you can make a whole family of them.)
