Instructions

    • 1

      Mix together the ingredients for your favorite pancake recipe or use a boxed mix.

    • 2

      Lightly oil the griddle or frying pan. Heat the griddle/pan on medium high heat.

    • 3

      Pour or scoop the batter on to the griddle/pan.

    • 4

      Make one large circle (the face) with the batter and two smaller circles (the ears) at the top right and left of the larger one.

    • 5

      Make the smaller circles as close to the same size as possible. The shape you've made should be symmetrical. It should resemble the shape of Mickey Mouse's head.

    • 6

      Flip the pancakes carefully once the three circles have baked together. Don't let the pancakes bake too long. Try to keep the batter somewhat soft.

    • 7

      Make a face with your choice of fruit.
