Our daughter's favorite breakfast is pancakes, and so on this Valentine's Day she asked if we could use the pancake recipe from her new cookbook. The recipe said to put the batter in a squirt bottle and use it to draw shapes, and letters. I didn't have a squirt bottle so I used the cake decorator tool.
We also used cookie cutters to make heart shaped pancakes.
Our daughter was thrilled with the results and was very excited to surprise her Daddy with this message.
Our son giggled at the happy face on his plate when he came to the table. He was also very excited when I gave him a pancake in the shape of his first initial.
In case you need it, here is the recipe for the batter. I liked this batter..it was not as runny as the one I usually use. This made it easy to use the cake decorator. It also made a very fluffy pancake.
1 egg
1/2 c. milk
2 T. butter, melted
1 c. all-purpose flour
2 t. baking powder
2 T. sugar
1/2 t. salt
Whisk egg, milk, butter together in a mixing bowl.
Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt and pour into the egg mixture. Stir just enough to wet the flour.
Pour batter into plastic squirt bottle or cake decorator tool.
Squirt batter into sprayed skillet or onto griddle over medium heat and draw shapes or letters.
Cook on one side until the bubbles stop popping. Flip and continue cooking briefly on the second side until golden.

Those are SO adorable! I'm saving that idea for later...
I was NOT so creative on Valentine's day... had to pick up Nathon from his early-morning swim practice, and I picked up a dozen donuts on the way home. :^)
