Easter Bunny Pancakes

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings:4 bunny pancakes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1½ to 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted and cooled butter, plus unmelted butter for cooking
  • Whipped cream or butter
  • Fruit to garnish, such as strawberries or blueberries
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Maple syrup

Instructions 

  • In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
  • Beat the eggs and 1½ cups milk in a separate bowl.
  • Add the eggs, milk, and 2 tablespoons of melted cooled butter to the dry ingredients. Mix the batter enough to moisten the flour. If the batter seems thick, add a little more milk.
  • Heat a skillet to medium heat.
  • Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of unmelted butter on the skillet.
  • When the butter starts to foam, ladle the batter onto the skillet, making various pancake shapes for the bunny ears, head, torso, and paws.
  • Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to the surface, about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other side is lightly browned, about 2 to 4 more minutes.
  • Drizzle chocolate syrup on the plate to form bunny whiskers.
  • Arrange the pancakes on a plate to form your bunny, and then top it off with a dollop of whipped cream or whipped butter for the tail and paw pads.
  • Garnish with fresh fruit, serve with maple syrup, and enjoy your Easter brunch!
