Full recipe with detailed steps in the recipe card at the end of this post. 👩🍳PRO TIP I like to make them in small batches so I have enough room in the pan to flip them. You can keep them warm in a low oven whilst you make the rest of the batches. I might even go for a bit of edible glitter… The kids absolutely love them, although I imagine they’ll be too distracted by the presents to really focus on breakfast! Maybe I’ll make them for Christmas Eve dinner instead. Who says I can’t have pancakes for dinner!!
