Get ready to hop into a pancake party that’s the buzz of the town! These delightful honey-glazed grasshopper-shaped pancakes will turn your breakfast table into a bug-tastic feast! And don’t worry—these grasshoppers are all made from fluffy pancake batter, sweet honey, and love!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (feel free to swap for whole wheat or your favorite gluten-free flour!)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or a splash of maple syrup if you want to be sweet!)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (to make those pancakes leap into the sky!)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or any milk you love—nut milk works too!)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 2 tablespoons honey (for that sweet, sticky glaze!)
- A sprinkle of “love and fun” (imagine giggles and pancake flips!)
Instructions:
-
Mix It Up! Grab a big bowl and whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Let’s make sure all our dry ingredients are ready to hop with excitement!
-
Get Wiggly! In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Feel free to wiggle your body while you mix—it helps the batter come to life!
-
Combine! Pour the wet mixture into the dry one and mix until just combined (some lumps are okay—just like real bugs!).
-
Bring on the Bugs! Now, here’s the fun part: heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it with a little butter. Use a ladle to pour the pancake batter onto the skillet, forming bug shapes! Can you make a grasshopper? What about some ladybugs? (Bug art challenge: try to make them colorful!)
-
Flip It Like a Bug! Once you see bubbles forming on the surface of the pancakes (wink, wink), it’s time to flip them! Use a spatula to give your grasshoppers a gentle turn. Cook for an additional minute until golden brown!
-
Glaze the Goodies! In a small bowl, mix together the honey and a tiny pinch of water to make it drizzly. Once your pancakes are ready, drizzle that delightful honey glaze right on top!
-
Serve It Up! Stack those pancakes high and give them some fun toppings, like sprinkles, sliced fruit, or whipped cream. Create a whole bug family with all your pancake shapes!
Fun Bug Fact
Did you know? Grasshoppers can jump 20 times their own body length! That's like you jumping over your house! Whoa!
