They’re ready to flip when bubbles start forming across the surface—this usually takes just around 30 seconds! Use a spatula to carefully turn them over and cook until they’re a lovely golden brown and fully cooked, which should only take about a minute.
HINT: TO get the taosted golden look grease your griddle with oil. Wipe off pan / griddle with a paper towel between batches.

birthday pancakes
Birthdays just wouldn’t be complete without our special M&M pancakes! It’s a cherished tradition we started years ago, and the kids can’t wait to celebrate each year with this tasty treat. We load them up with luscious Hershey’s syrup, fluffy whipped cream, juicy cherries, and, of course, a festive birthday candle!
santa pancakes
Pancakes are a delicious and budget-friendly staple in our household, and we love whipping them up at least a couple of times each month! To add some festive flair during the holiday season, I like to surprise my family with Santa Claus pancakes in December. These Christmas-themed treats are always a crowd-pleaser!
All you need are some strawberries for Santa’s hat, whipped cream for his hair and beard, chocolate chips for his eyes, a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a smile, and a strawberry or cherry for his nose. They’re not just cute – they’re absolutely delicious too!
