What could be a better breakfast on Christmas morning than these fun Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer pancakes? The kids will think all their Christmases have come at once!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk

    (250ml)

  • 1 egg

    lightly beaten

  • 1 cup self-raising flour

    (150g)

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 4 streaky bacon

  • 4 white marshmallows

  • 8 dark choc chips

  • 4 strawberries

Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 large frypan

Instructions

  1. Make a basic pancake batter by whisking together milk and egg in a large bowl. Sift over flour and whisk until smooth.
  2. Melt 2 teaspoons butter in a large frypan. Pour in batter to form one large circle, one smaller circle and two triangles for ears. Cook for a couple of minutes until bubbles form, flip and cook for a further minute until cooked through. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  3. Cut marshmallows in half. Press a choc chip into the centre of each half.
  4. Cut bacon rashers in half and cook until crisp. To arrange Rudolph, place the large pancake on a plate. Place smaller pancake on top. Position rashers for antlers and the triangular pancakes for ears. Decorate with marshmallow eyes and strawberry nose.
