How To Involve Your Kids In Breakfast: Wacky Bran Pancakes |
||
|
Doctors and nutritionists tell us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is important that we get our children involved in breakfast at an early age. This pancake recipe is a good way to let your children get involved in the kitchen and in creating their own breakfast. This is a fun way to enjoy weekend or holiday breakfasts. As the mother of two daughters who were members of the Girl Scouts and as a former scout leader, I am passing this Girl Scout recipe along to you to enjoy with your children or grandchildren. The children will become so involved with "their" pancakes, they won't even realize they are eating healthy bran.
WACKY BRAN PANCAKES This is an old Girl Scouts recipe. 2 cups milk 1/2 cups All-Bran cereal 1 egg, beaten 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 2 tbsp sugar 3 colors of food coloring, your choice In a medium mixing bowl, stir the milk and cereal into the beaten egg; let mixture stand for a couple minutes or until the cereal is softened. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir the dry ingredients into the cereal mixture just until blended. This batter will be lumpy. Take 1/3 portions of batter and put into 3 separate small bowls. Stir your food coloring choices into the bowls of batter. Drizzle colored batter onto a lightly greased hot griddle to make faces, ie eyes, nose, mouth. Cook until bubbles appear. Pour 1/4 cup batter over each face. Cook until bubbly. Turn once. Yield: 10 to 12 pancake faces. Enjoy! |
