List of Ingredients
***Buttermilk Pancakes:***
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 Teaspoons baking powder
1 Teaspoon baking soda
1/2 Teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons fat-free egg substitute
2 cups low-fat buttermilk
or
1 cup low-fat milk
and
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
***Pancake Decorations:***
6 jet puffed marshmallows (for the nose)
42 gourmet-size chocolate chips (regular can also be used)
nonstick cooking spray
Recipe
In a mixing bowl, stir together the first five ingredients.
In another bowl, blend the remaining ingredients. Add the
egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Stir mixture
just until blended. Set one marshmallow and seven chocolate
chips in a custard bowl for each child. Start heating nonstick
frying pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Coat generously
with nonstick cooking spray. Using a 1/3-cup measure, have
your child fill it with some of the batter and pour it in the
bottom portion of the pan to make Mickeys head. Then have your
child fill a 1/8-cup measure with some of the batter and pour
it in the upper left portion of the head to make one of Mickey's
ears. Have your child fill the 1/8-cup measure again but this
time have your child pour it at the upper right portion of the
head to make Mickey's other ear. Watch carefully, and when the
bottom of the Mickey pancake is lightly browned and bubbles
appear, use an extra long spatula under the head and as much
of the right ear as possible. Then flip over. (Into the direction
of the left ear). Once your pancake is flipped your child can,
with your careful supervision, press two chocolate chips into
the pancake to make the eyes and use the five remaining chocolate
chips to make a big smile. The big marshmallow can be pressed
into the pancake to make the nose. When the bottom of the pancake
is lightly browned, remove from skillet to a serving plate and
repeat with remaining batter.
