Reindeer Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients
- pancake mix (plus eggs & milk as package directs)
- candy eyes
- red candies (mini or regular M&M-size both work)
- chocolate chips (for melting/piping)
- butter or oil for the pan
Step-by-Step Instructions
1) Mix batter.
Prepare pancake mix according to the package directions using eggs and milk. Rest the batter 2–3 minutes to relax bubbles.
2) Preheat & grease.
Warm a nonstick griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil.
3) Cook pancakes.
Spoon small rounds (about ¼ cup each). Cook until bubbles form and edges look set; flip with a silicone spatula and cook until golden. Transfer to a warm plate.
4) Melt & pipe antlers.
Microwave chocolate chips in 15-second bursts, stirring smooth. Transfer to a piping bag (or zip-top bag). Pipe two quick antlers on each pancake—short trunk lines with little branches.
5) Add eyes & nose.
While the chocolate is still soft, press on candy eyes and a red candy nose. Serve warm with syrup.
