Snowman Pancakes With Bacon Scarves Food

BANANA PANCAKE SNOWMEN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir the pancake mix, water and banana just until moistened., Pour a scant 1/2 cup batter onto a greased hot griddle, making three circles to form a snowman. Turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until the second side is golden brown. Transfer to a serving plate. Repeat with remaining batter., Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Decorate snowmen with pretzels, chocolate chips, cranberries and/or banana if desired.

BACON PANCAKE DIPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, spacing the slices apart so they aren't touching.
• Bake the bacon until it reaches your desired level of crispiness, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour with the sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, egg and 2 tablespoons melted butter.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. (The batter should be lumpy.)
• Grease a griddle or large nonstick skillet with butter.
• Working in batches, arrange slices of the cooked bacon on the griddle, spacing them at least 3 inches apart. Spoon the pancake batter around and on top of each bacon strip and cook until bubbles form across the outside edges of the batter. Flip the pancake dippers once and continue cooking until they are cooked through. Repeat with the remaining bacon and pancake batter.
• Serve the pancake dippers warm with maple syrup for dipping.
