Frog Pancakes

Ingredients: 

For the pancakes: 

• 140g self-raising flour 
• 1 tsp baking powder 
• 2 tbsp golden granulated sugar 
• Pinch salt 
• 125ml milk (or dairy-free equivalent) 
• 1 large egg 
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil 
• Butter or dairy-free spread for frying 

To serve: 

• Green grapes 
• 1 banana 
• Handful chocolate chips 

Method: 

• Measure out the flour, baking powder and sugar and sift into a bowl along with the salt. 
• In a separate jug or bowl, lightly whisk the egg then mix with the milk and oil. 
• Mix the wet and dry ingredients together then lightly whisk until well combined and lump-free.  
• Heat the pan over a medium heat, then drop in the butter and swirl around until completely melted. 
• Spoon pancake mix into the pan in small pancake-sized circles, making sure you leave enough room between the pancakes to flip them over once ready. 
• Cook the pancakes until they start to bubble up, then flip them over and cook on the other side until golden. 
• Remove from the pan and repeat until all the mixture is used up. 
• To decorate your pancakes, slice green grapes in half lengthways and arrange 6 grape halves in a triangle to make the frog’s body.  
• Cut two slices from the banana and cut into smaller circles using a small round cutter.  
• Pop the banana ‘eyes’ in place above the grapes triangle and top them with two chocolate chips. 
• Repeat until you have decorated as many pancakes as you need!
