Instructions

• 1

  Mix together the ingredients for your favorite pancake recipe or use a boxed mix.

• 2

  Lightly oil the griddle or frying pan. Heat the griddle/pan on medium high heat.

• 3

  Pour or scoop the batter on to the griddle/pan.

• 4

  Make one large circle (the face) with the batter and two smaller circles (the ears) at the top right and left of the larger one.

• 5

  Make the smaller circles as close to the same size as possible. The shape you've made should be symmetrical. It should resemble the shape of Mickey Mouse's head.

• 6

  Flip the pancakes carefully once the three circles have baked together. Don't let the pancakes bake too long. Try to keep the batter somewhat soft.

• 7

  Make a face with your choice of fruit.
