Directions for the Buttermilk Vanilla Crème Syrup
In the small 1 quart Nutra Ease sauce pan combine the buttermilk, butter and sugar. Turn heat to medium high stirring occasional. Wait for the mixture to come to a full boil; turn heat off, add baking soda and vanilla; stir to combine. As it cools it will thicken up slightly and become more the texture of syrup. You can serve this either warm or cold.
Pancake Directions
In a small bowl combine the cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves and nutmeg, mix well with a whisk. Set aside.
Make up your pancake mix according to the directions and the number of people you want to serve. Add in the spices and shredded carrots mix well. Heat up the Nutra Ease square griddle on medium and spray with non stick cooking spray.
For each bunny body use ¼ cup of batter and slowly pour it onto the griddle to achieve as much of a round circle as possible. For the head use half the amount you did for the body. Cook pancakes 2-3 minutes on each side. You’ll know it’s time to flip the pancakes when they form bubbles all over the top side.
For the ears and the feet you’ll need a plastic bottle with a squeeze spout; like a mustard or ketchup bottle. Put some batter in the bottle and then squeeze it out on the hot griddle into the shape of the ears and the feet.
Arrange all the parts on a plate to make Mr. Peter Cotton tail. You’ll find yourself admiring your adorable creation. Top with Our scrumptious buttermilk vanilla cream syrup; it’s the perfect sweet accompaniment to our savory carrot cake bunny pancakes. Accent the feet with sliced banana and mini chocolate chips. For that adorable cotton tail add a squirt of whipped cream.
Embrace the Taste, Experience the Difference!
