The Crab Pancake

I was challenged to make a crab pancake, and I was victorious.

Darth Vader Pancake

"Luke, I am a pancake."

I made this one by adding oreo crumbs to regular pancake batter, and then pouring that into the shape of Darth Vader's helmet. For the details I melted chocolate chips with the Oreo middles and used the edge of a spoon to put it on the pancake. :-)

Perfected the Palm Tree Pancake

Here is a picture of the process itself: I had to pour the batter onto the pan in the shape of a palm tree, then add chocolate chips for the coconuts on the tree, layer almonds going up the tree trunk as the bark, and then sprinkle coconut for the leaves.

Then I added an island to the palm tree scene by mixing cinnamon into the batter to look like sand and pouring it onto the pan to look like an island - more or less a disfigured circle.

The result was absolutely delicious! I was surprised at how well the coconut, almonds, and chocolates accented the taste of the pancakes.
