Making Letter Pancakes
I love homemade pancakes, and I especially love making letter pancakes. Even though they end up cut up in bite-sized pieces anyway, the girls get so excited every time I make them!
To start, I follow an adapted version of this pancake recipe because I think it makes the best pancakes evah:
:: 1 cup all-purpose flour
:: 1 tablespoon baking powder
:: 1/4 teaspoon salt
:: 1 tablespoon sugar
:: 1 egg, beaten
:: 1 cup milk
:: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
:: 1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in a measuring cup and then add to the dry ingredients and mix well. Add water (a teeny bit at a time) if you need to thin the batter out!
Here’s the fun part. Fill a large squeeze bottle of some sort with the pancake mix and then you can easily make almost any shape very easily.

And even better, using a squeeze bottle allows you to make perfectly round pancakes almost every time!

I love this idea – I am working on doing more from scratch and this looks like a fun way to introduce homemade pancakes! Thanks for the tip on the squeeze bottle.
Where did you purchase your squeese bottle?
Just at Walmart, I think!
I love this Mandi! This will be great for camping.
Love this! You could also mix up the batter in the afternoon, wash the bowl, and put the squeeze jar in the fridge. Then, when the pancakes are done, rinse the jar and throw it in the dishwasher. I’m definitely going to try this soon–all for getting dishes out of the way before supper!
