Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)

For Decorating:

  • Chocolate syrup (for the spider legs)
  • Mini chocolate chips (for the eyes)
  • Whipped cream (for optional cobweb effect)
  • Fruit slices (optional) for extra decoration

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pancake Batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
  • Heat the Pan:
    • Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
  • Cook the Pancakes:
    • Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm while cooking the remaining pancakes.
  • Assemble the Spider Pancakes:
    • Place one pancake in the center of the plate to be the spider’s body.
    • Using chocolate syrup, carefully draw 8 spider legs extending out from the sides of the pancake.
    • Add two mini chocolate chips near the top of the pancake to create the spider’s eyes. You can add a small dot of syrup or whipped cream beneath the chocolate chips to help them stick if needed.
  • Optional Cobweb Effect:
    • To make the plate extra spooky, drizzle whipped cream in a circular motion around the pancake to resemble a spider’s web.
  • Serve:
    • Serve your Creepy-Cute Spider Pancakes warm with additional syrup, fruit slices, or whipped cream for extra fun.
