One of my favorite easy ways for holiday fun is to make themed pancakes. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been making special birthday pancakes for my son. I always make a B (my son’s initial) and then numbers for whatever age he is turning. For Christmas, I make Santa or Snowmen. And Easter, bunnies of course.
I come up with my designs using simple shapes and adding fruit, chocolate chips, and whipped cream where needed.
