Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Feel free to mix it up with what you use to decorate the faces--sprinkles, blackberries, whipped cream and frosting all work well, too.
  • tip 2
    Have little ones help by decorating the animals once the pancakes are made.
  • tip 3
    Add food colors to the pancake batter to make animals even more realistic.
