What You’ll Need
For the Pumpkin Pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
For the Spooky Decorations:
- White gel icing (for spider webs)
- Fresh blackberries
- Edible googly eyes
- Black gel icing (for spider legs)
Brewing the Magic
- Conjure the Pumpkin Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. In another bowl, mix the milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix – a few lumps are fine!
- Cook the Spellbinding Pancakes: Heat a non-stick griddle or pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Weave the Spider Web: Once the pancakes are cooled slightly, use the white gel icing to draw webs on each pancake. Pro tip: Practice on a plate first to perfect your technique!
- Create Creepy Blackberry Spiders: Place a blackberry on each pancake. Add two edible googly eyes to the front. Use the black gel icing to draw eight thin legs extending from the blackberry.
Serving Your Spooky Creation
Arrange your spider web pancakes on Halloween-themed plates for an extra festive touch. Serve with a side of “blood” syrup (maple syrup with a drop of red food coloring) in small potion bottles or cauldrons.
👻 Kids’ Corner: Let your little monsters help with decorating the pancakes. They’ll love drawing the spider webs and placing the googly eyes on the blackberry spiders!
