The best ingredients in winter are citrus fruits and cinnamon, the scent alone gives you this lovely warm, winter feeling. Today we use these two flavours in pancakes and especially for the kids we make them into snowmen ;)
How to make snowmen pancakes
Weigh flour and measure milk.
Place flour and milk in a bowl.
Add the eggs to the bowl.
Beat until combined.
Beat the zest and cinnamon into the mixture.
Heat the pan and melt a piece of butter.
Pour a batter circle with a small one attached.
It takes some practice to pour a neat snowman but if it does not work out for you cut the pancake into shape. Most important is that the kids can recognize it ;)
Bake the pancake golden brown on both sides, in 3-4 minutes each.
Dust with icing sugar and decorate with raisins and orange peel.
Serve with honey on the side for plain pancakes, place some orange wedges on the plate.
