Happy Memorial day everyone! Here’s a patriotic pancake for ya. I really tried to get all 50 stars in there, but pancake batter is a bit unforgiving when you’re trying to do detail work.

South of the border pancakes

Here’s a creation that I came up with while I was on the TV morning show- a taco pancake! Yes, I know it’s not a big stretch from the cheeseburger pancake, but I was on live TV and running out of ideas. Also, the taco pancakes are delicious. Pour a little syrup in the middle [...]

Happy Birthday Pac-Man!

Happy (belated) birthday Pac-Man! Can’t believe you’re 30…I’m starting to feel old. I had to spend about 15 minutes explaining to Allie who Pac-Man is, and then she still doesn’t understand why he eats ghosts. If I had a bigger griddle I think I could make the whole game layout

I assume this is what pancakes are like in Japan

Gotta thank Steve from my facebook page for this idea! I think it came out pretty good and Allie ate the whole thing. She was either starving or they were good, we’ll never know. I wanted to make sushi pancakes like you would make real sushi, so everything needed to be thin enough to wrap [...]

Difficulty level: 11 – Ferris Wheel Pancake!

I think this was the hardest pancake so far. Amber suggested it from the Jim’s Pancakes Facebook page and I thought it would be a nice challenge. Well, an hour later and with most of my fingers burned I’m calling it a success. I’ll post the video of it here after I load it to [...]
