Notes
- Write letters and numbers BACKWARDS on the griddle. That way, when they are flipped over, your numbers will have a nice brown surface and face the right direction.
- Use a squeeze bottle or measuring cup with a spout for better control.
- Use TWO spatulas simultaneously to flip pancake shapes. Depending on the size of your shapes, a single spatula might not be big enough to lift the full letter.
- Cook pancakes on medium heat so shapes hold their form.
- Start with simple shapes like letters or hearts before trying more detailed designs.
- Add fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips to decorate finished pancake shapes.
