The Millennium (Pancake) Falcon

Well, the AT-AT was such a hit that I decided to do another favorite, the Millennium Falcon This one was a bit easier than the AT-AT, but the landing gear gave me a hard time. For the first attempt I think this came out pretty good though. I should probably add a small Chewie though, [...]

Star Wars Pancakes!

I finally made one of my favorite things from when I was little, the “AT-AT” from Star Wars.  This was not easy, but well worth it It took a little more planning than usual, since four-legged pancake creations seem to be the most difficult to engineer. Here’s the super-scientific blueprints I started from: I ended [...]

Practicing for Valentine’s day

I decided to test out some ideas for Valentine’s Day pancakes, but all I could come up with is an arrow through a heart. The heart is colored with strawberry jam, and the arrow uses cocoa powder.

Mmmmmm…..bacon & eggs

This pancake is for all the mornings when I really want bacon and eggs but we never seem to have them in the fridge. Luckily, we have plenty of pancake ingredients in this house I’m glad I recorded this one, Allie had a couple good comments. Apparently calling bacon fat “fat” isn’t nice. And oh [...]

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 [...]

Easy to make Giraffe Pancake

This guy was pretty easy to make. I just drew the outline and his spots first, then let them cook for a couple minutes. Add a  little yellow batter and boom: Giraffe pancake. As usual, Allie was supervising my work and giving encouragement. Later on I asked her what other kinds of pancakes she wanted [...]

First attempt at pancake civil engineering

Thought I’d give myself a little challenge today, so I decided to test out the load-bearing qualities of pancake batter. The project was more successful than I had anticipated, minus the minor burns from trying to assemble the structure on a hot griddle. If you over-cook the pieces, they become pretty stable, almost like balsa [...]

“Tank”, the pancake turtle

By popular demand- I made a turtle. For some reason I thought I was going to be able to mold the shell into a lifelike three-dimensional shape, and then reality set it. Pancakes like to stay flat I guess. Undeterred, I decided to use brute force and just squished the pancake into the shape I [...]
