Boo! Halloween Pancakes!

Halloween Pancakes

Boo!  It’s that time of year to make some Halloween pancakes!  Here are a couple easy ones, I think I’ll attempt something a little more complex this weekend.  The ghost is really easy to make, the trick is to flip it over as soon as possible so that it stays white. You can cook it all the way through on the other side, it’s okay if that side turns brown.  For the pumpkin the trick is to cook the outline and the face for as long as possible before you fill it in. That way you’ll have some color variation between the outline and the body.

For these ones I just used some store-bought instant pancake mix, but I think I’ll try adding some canned pumpkin to the batter for the next batch. Pumpkin shaped pumpkin pancakes would be awesome :)

Here’s Allie saying BOOOO!

Boo!

    You should totally make one of those page-a-day calendars of your pancakes. It would be awesome! You wouldn’t get rich, but you’d make me happy. :)

    I just found your blog. Although it was by accident, I fell in love with it immediately. I feature a blog each day, and I think yours is perfect for today (Oct 24), Although mine is an art blog, I think your pancakes are also works of art (and genius,too).

    It looks great, but what about adding some icing on top. I made some pancakes yesterday and on top I added some jam, it looked like a strawberry :)

    I found your website through the Altoids campaign and I am in love! Yours was my favorite entry of all – you are a real inspiration!!

    Found your blog via the Family Fresh Cooking blog and recent choc/pumpkin jack-o-lanterns pancake post. Your creations are amazing! Hopefully I can whip up a few reasonable facsimiles to dazzle my 2 1/2-year-old. She browsed your site with me and was thrilled with the Hello Kitty pancake. Thanks for sharing your creativity!

    Hi! I loved seeing you on RR and have been putting off making some of your adorable pancakes for my 5 year old. Can you please add a “what you need” type thing. I have no idea where to buy those ketchup bottles, and do you use food coloring, etc? Just to help get me started. Also do you rate them easy to difficult? That would help me too:) Thanks again!

    Jim & family,
    Saw you on Rachel Ray today and was truly inspired. Went out and bought 3 plastic catsup bottles. Got a granddaughter coming tomorrow!! (age 3) So, we’re going to have fun, even if my “art” won’t be quite as intricate. Been studying your design & I might be able to pull of candy canes and some simple ones. THANKS FOR THE AMAZING inspiration!! Blessings to your family.
