List of Ingredients

Happy Face Pancakes


* 1 egg
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 3/4 cup milk
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (we prefer canola oil)
* 3 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* Butter or margarine
* Gummi Bears or similar candy (for the eyebrows)
* Dried apricots (for the eyes)
* Fresh blueberries or M&M's (for the pupils of the eyes)
* Fresh strawberries, cleaned and topped (for the nose)
* Whipped cream (for the mouth)
* Candy sprinkles (for the teeth)



Recipe


* Beat egg until fluffy.

* Beat in remaining ingredients just until smooth.

* Grease griddle with butter or margarine.

* Pour about 4 tablespoons batter onto griddle for each large pancake, and about 1 teaspoon of batter for each ear.

* Cook each pancake until puffed up and dry around edges.

* Turn and cook other side until golden brown. Remove from griddle.

* Place a large pancake in the center of a plate.

* Add small pancakes for the ears.

* Make the eyebrows with Gummi Bears.

* Make the eyes with apricots. Add blueberries or M&M's for the pupils.

* Add a whole strawberry, upside down, for the nose.

* Form whipped cream into a smiling mouth.

* Add sprinkles on top of the whipped cream for teeth.

* Makes approximately 8 very happy pancakes.

Note: Worried about making from scratch? No worries, just use a store-bought pancake mix, and add the fresh blueberries to the batter before placing on the griddle.
