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!
