Teddy Bear Pancakes

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. 2

   In another bowl, beat the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. 3

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

4. 4

   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

5. 5

   For each teddy bear, pour one large pancake for the body, one smaller pancake for the head, and two tiny pancakes for the ears onto the skillet.

6. 6

   Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

7. 7

   Assemble the teddy bear on a plate by placing the head pancake above the body pancake and the ear pancakes on top of the head.

8. 8

   Use banana slices to create the teddy bear's paws and ears, and berries to make the eyes and nose.

9. 9

   Serve the teddy bear pancakes warm with your choice of syrup or toppings.
