I thought it would be fun to spread some sunshine to my kids and make them these cute cactus and sunshine pancakes for an after school snack!
I've put together a tutorial so that you can make them also!
For a full list of the pancake mix/products I use, check out this page HERE.
Today you'll need four colors:
orange, yellow, green and light green
You'll also need:
Miniature chocolate chips
Oil and set your griddle to 200 degrees.
Draw a small cactus with your green batter.
Taking your light green batter, trace around your cactus.
Flip the cactus when it looses its shine and is bubbly.
Draw lots of tiny orange dots and let them cook completely.
(these will be cactus flower petals)
You will also need to make several extra dots for noses on the sunshine pancake.
Draw a yellow dot
(this will be the center of the cactus flower)
Place the cooked orange dots into the wet yellow batter to form a flower. Let the yellow dot fully cook.
To create the sun:
1. draw a medium sized circle with yellow
2. trace around the circle with orange batter
3. place yellow dots around the circle
4: Let it get bubbly before flipping the pancake
Add miniature chocolate chips for eyes on the sunshine and use any extra orange dots for little noses.
Since I made my kids these pancakes as a snack for later, I wrapped them up in plastic wrap and put them in the fridge.
Have a Sunny Day!
