Make fun Halloween pancakes with simple batter techniques and edible decorations for a festive breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (for dark batter)
  • Chocolate chips (for eyes and buttons)
  • Orange food coloring (optional, for pumpkin pancakes)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Divide batter into two bowls. Leave one plain. Add cocoa powder to the second bowl and mix until smooth. If desired, add orange food coloring to a portion of the plain batter.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  6. For ghost shapes: Pour batter into a freeform ghost shape. Add two mini chocolate chips for eyes.
  7. For spiderwebs: Pour a circle of plain batter onto the griddle. Immediately add concentric circles of cocoa batter. Drag a toothpick from the center to the edge to create a web effect.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For squeeze bottle decorating, thin the batter slightly with a little extra milk.
  • Test your griddle temperature by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle immediately.
  • Get creative with toppings like whipped cream, fruit, or sprinkles.
