It’s Pancake Day on Tuesday and I think I may have gone a bit pancake crazy this year. I’ve made Traditional Pancakes, American Pancakes, American Style Lemon and Raisin Pancakes and ones that look like Mickey Mouse.
I honestly wasn’t planning on sharing another pancake recipe, but I thought these farm animals were too cute not to share.
As always the artwork is a little rusty, but hopefully, it’ll give you a bit of inspiration to have a go at home.
These pancakes use the same tried and tested method that I always use.
- Make the pancake batter.
- Heat the pan until it’s really hot and then turn off the heat.
- Draw the outline/detail of your pancake.
- Turn the heat back on and cook until it’s brown.
- Turn the heat off and add the filling.
- Turn the heat back on and cook until bubbles are appearing.
- Flip and finish cooking.
Simple
For a more detailed version of these instructions and the pancake batter recipe have a quick look at my New Year Pancake.
Have you ever had a go at pancake art? If you have I’d love to see your pictures.

Thanks Vicki. I was really pleased with how they turned out. Just thinking about what to try next.

Wow this is great – I have tried a little bit of this sort of thing but it always cooks too quickly so I am going to try your method of turning off the heat while I draw! Looks like it might be time to get out the squeezy bottle!
Charlotte Oates says
I originally turned off the heat as my arm was turning a bad shade of red but I’ve found that it does give you a little more time to draw (and it’s much easier to draw if your arm isn’t burning!).
I hope it works for you. If you give it a try I’d love to see a picture.
