Pinterest Win: Perfectly Portioned Pancakes
Sometimes we fail at Pinterest. Like in the case of my “Cotton Candy Cake” although I felt I failed, my family still ate it.
And sometimes we win and can make perfectly portioned pancakes. I was inspired by a pin that had been circulating for years. As a matter of fact, I pinned it TWO years ago.
I was also inspired by the fact that I made a “Melt-Your-Face-Off Meatloaf” and finally had a empty bottle to use. We don’t go through a lot of ketchup in our house because the only person that really likes it is kiddo and she’s only around on the weekends and she doesn’t like the Hot n Spicy kind. It took me forever to empty out that bottle!
First, go check out my “Sugar-Free Pancake Mix.”
Then, go check out my “Sugar-Free Homestyle Pancakes.” It’s not so hard to make perfectly portioned pancakes!
Once you have your mix and your other ingredients mix it all in a bowl. You’ll need a funnel. Place that on top of the empty (and clean) bottle and fill it with the pancake batter.
I used one squirt per pancake and that is what gave me those cute perfectly portioned pancakes!
Don’t worry, those red spots are on the outside of the bottle. I’m not trying to heat up anyone’s pancakes. 😉
This is a really good idea for making perfect pancakes! We don’t go through a lot of ketchup either, so it may be a while before I can try this.
I love this idea for making pancakes. It’s perfect for recycling the bottle and making pancakes of the perfect size.
I’ve seen this idea before! I think I need to try it. I love how the mix is readily available and no wasting!
Wow how could something so simple allude all of us. I love this idea and I am going to use it the next time I am cooking pancakes.
That is such a clever idea. I usually make bigger batches of pancakes to freeze so this would be nice to get them made easier.
This would definitely make it easier! I think it’s such a neat trick!
That’s one thing about pancakes, mine are always a different size. This will definitely help.
Oh my.. that Cotton Candy Cake fail… oh my !!! Loving the squirt bottle for the pancake mix.. Super idea to control the amount of mix..
Never thought of that way to make perfect pancakes before. I’ll have to give this a try myself when we do pancakes. We use ketchup and so will have to save a bottle just for this.
This is a really great idea. We go through a lot of ketchup so I won’t have any trouble getting a bottle.
Such a great idea! Trying to spoon pancake batter out can get so annoying. I love the squirt idea.
What a great idea! Those pancakes look absolutely perfect!
I have the perfect bottle in mind to try these with. We just had pancakes today. My family loves them and I would like to make them just a little bit more perfect. Thanks!
I always wanted to know if that worked! What a great tip to try.
Pinned your post to my Breakfast Board. I am always looking for ways to reuse and to make my life easier. This definitely does both.
Thank you for the pin!
OMG, that is brilliant recycling! I love those containers when they have ketchup, I never thought to reuse. Thanks for this, and helping with pancake mixing time means I can make it before school some days!
Thats a great idea. I never thought about making it the day before and putting it in the fridge until morning!
This is such a great idea. I usually use a scoop when I make pancakes, but it always makes a mess. This is a mess-free solution. Thank you!
Wow! What a fantastic idea. I never would have thought of this. How flippin’ awesome!
This is an awesome kitchen hack. I will definitely be recycling our next empty bottle of ketchup.
Who knew perfectly portioned pancakes could be so easy! I see more pancakes in our future.
This looks like an easy way to make perfectly portioned pancakes! I could use that so I could actually sit down and eat them with my family, rather than eating mine while I’m cooking lol.
I learned the hard way not to serve anyone until I was all done. I finally perfected my timing so that food is still warm when we all sit down to eat.
What a fun and easy way to make pancakes. I may have to try this!
