Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Base
- 1 serving pancake batter (homemade or boxed)
Decorations
- 4 large strawberries
- Whipped cream spray, to taste
- Nutella, about 2 tablespoons
- 1 strip of bacon
Instructions
- Cook Pancake Base: Pour your pancake mix into a pan over low heat shaping it like the cat’s head. It doesn’t need to be perfect because you can trim the edges later with kitchen scissors to enhance the shape.
- Decorate with Nutella: Place a small amount of Nutella into a plastic bag and snip off a corner. Use this to draw the cat’s face details and hair on top of the cooked pancake.
- Prepare Strawberry Hat: Slice large strawberries in half and layer them on top of the pancake along with whipped cream spray to create the iconic striped hat effect.
- Make Bacon Whiskers: Cook the bacon strip until crispy. Then use kitchen scissors to cut it into thin strips and arrange these on the pancake to serve as whiskers for the Cat in the Hat character.
Notes
- Low heat is best for cooking the pancake to ensure it cooks evenly without burning.
- Kitchen scissors are useful for both shaping the pancake and cutting bacon whiskers precisely.
- You can substitute Nutella with any chocolate spread or frosting if preferred.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and consider using thinly sliced fruit or veggie strips for whiskers.
