 We're
always on the look-out for new ways to turn everyday food
into a spooky and unique meal or treat for Halloween.
We recently
found a really cool set of kitchen tools that allows us do
just that. The "Make-a-Face Halloween Pancake Molds" from
Williams Sonoma come two to a set, one Jack O' Lantern and
one Skeleton mold.
These special molds all you to create
hotcakes with all sorts of haunting expressions.
 Great
fun for both kids and adults, these jack-o’-lantern- and
skull-shaped molds are designed with knobs that let you
easily alter their faces, making each pancake unique.
After
preheating your griddle or skillet, and configuring the
molds, you simply fill each mold with your favorite pancake
batter and cook until they are done on the bottom side. You
then lift away the molds and flip the pancakes over to
finish cooking.
A
great way to serve-up some spooky pancakes for breakfast, or
as an anytime treat. Each set of "Make-a-Face Halloween
Pancake Molds" comes with one of each mold and instructions.
The steel
molds’ nonstick finish makes for easy release and cleanup,
and the handles fold for compact storage. Each mold measures
4-3/4" by 6-1/2". Set of two, one of each design.
Available from Williams Sonoma
 Basic
Pancake Batter Recipe (4)
1-1/2 cup
flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1 cup milk - (approximately)
3 tablespoons butter (softened)
Heat your
griddle or skillet until it is hot. Sift together the flour,
salt and baking powder. Whisk together egg, milk and butter
in a separate bowl. Add the egg mixture to the flour and
stir just enough to moisten it. The batter will be lumpy, do
not over mix. If the batter is too dry, add a couple more
spoonfuls of milk.
Lower heat to
medium-high and lightly brush griddle/skillet with butter.
Once your pancakes are done, serve while they are hot with
butter and syrup.
