Ghost Pancakes

Serves 4

Ingredients

250g Plain Flour
2 eggs (at room temp)
600ml milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Handful raisins
A washed empty squeezy ketchup bottle (optional)
Hand mixer or whisk
Large non stick pan
Spatula

Method

In a large bowl, sieve the flour and add the two eggs
Mix gently
Add vanilla extract
Slowly pour in the milk and whisk on high until smooth

Leave mix to rest for at least an hour in the fridge. You don't have to do this but it
will be easier to work with if you do. Mix again before using.

Heat the frying pan. You want this hot before you pour any mix on

To make the ghosts you have two options

NO KETCHUP BOTTLE
If you do not have the empty ketchup bottle you can pour the mix from the bowl to
the pan using a ladle. Then slowly move the pan to create the ghost droop. You can
also use the side of a spoon to drag some of the mix down to form a ghost shape.

WITH KETCHUP BOTTLE
If you are using the ketchup bottle you will be able the "draw" the ghost a little more
accurately. Start with a circle and draw your chosen shape from there. This method
is easier for kids too. It is easier to keep them away from the pan when they are
holding the bottle. Of course insure there is a adult with them at all times as the pan will
remain very hot.

Once your ghost starts to bubble flip him/her over until cooked

Set aside to decorate

My Big Red Kitchen's TOP TIP with pancakes is to only flip them once!
This keeps them light and stops over cooking.

Happy ghost making!
