Make your pancakes according to the directions.
Add a little extra milk or water to the mix to thin out the pancakes. Thick pancakes will clog up the squirt bottle. Mix thoroughly to remove all lumps. Lumps also clog the squirt bottle. Fill your bottle with pancake batter. I found using a ladle and funnel worked best.
Using the bottle create designs on a hot buttered griddle. I set mine to 350 degrees. Initially I started out making snowflakes, but they kept looking like spider webs, so I went on to other things. Using the bottle allows you to draw on the griddle. I am not an artist, but it was easy to make snowmen, Christmas trees, stars, gingerbread men, even write the kids’ names.
You can even add chocolate chips or sprinkles.
Your kids will absolutely love these pancakes. It doesn’t matter how they taste, somehow eating your name in pancake is the best thing in the world for a six year old.
