How to Make Snowman Pancakes
Step 1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet or in the oven and set it aside. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
Step 2. Use your favorite recipe to make the pancake batter.
Step 3. Ladle it into a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. You’ll want to make some smaller than others to make the snowman’s head. Cook until bubbles form around the edges and the first side is golden.
Step 4. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Continue with the remaining batter.
Step 5. Place the cooked pancakes on individual plates. Start with larger one on the bottom, then a medium sized one, then a small pancake for the head. Use a sifter to sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Step 6. Take mini chocolate chips and add two for the eyes. Add a row to make the smile and 3 on the middle pancake to make the buttons.
Step 7. Take a sharp knife and cut a wedge out of the starburst. You’ll want it to be in the shape of a carrot nose.
Step 8. Make the bacon scarves by taking a bacon strip and cutting it in half. Place one half between the 2nd and 3rd pancake. Then, drape the other half down the side.
Step 9. For the arms you will take a pretzel stick and place the very end slightly under the middle pancake. Break a small piece of another one and add it to form the hands.
Step 10. To make the top hat, cut the end off of a fudge graham cookie. Place it on top of the first pancake to make the hat rim. Then, place the rest of the cookie on top of the rim.
Step 11. Finally, add a little bit of whipped cream across the bottom of the pancakes. That’s it, they’re ready to eat!
Variations of these Cute Snowman Pancakes
- Buttons: You can use blueberries or mini M&Ms instead of chocolate chips for the snowmen’s buttons. If you want, you can also use brown M&M candy to make the eyes.
- Arms: We used pretzel sticks for the arms. You can also snip black licorice Twizzlers into smaller pieces for the arms.
- Candy scarf: We used a piece of bacon for the scarf, but you can use strips of fruit roll-up or red fruit Twizzlers.
- Snow: Once you’ve add the whip cream at the bottom, sprinkle it with shredded coconut or a little more confectioner sugar to give it a fluffy, snowy effect.
- Sprinkles: You can add fun colors to your snowmen. Just whisk in your favorite holiday sprinkles into the batter.
- Flavors: Feel free to add other flavors. Add a little peppermint, almond or vanilla extract and whisk together with the batter..
Snowmen Pancake FAQs
It’s best to serve them immediately once the pancakes are decorated. If you have pancakes leftover, store them in the fridge in airtight container for up to a couple of days. If you want to make the pancakes in advance, just reheat them in the microwave until warm, then decorate.
If you want to make all the pancakes the same size, you can use a measuring cup to measure out the batter. You can also place varying sizes of biscuit cutters into your nonstick skillet and pour the batter into the middle.
Sure. If you want to use frozen pancakes, you can. You can use a round cookie cutter to make them different sizes.
