letter pancakes!!

this was probably one of the most fun ideas i've had since being a mom. well, maybe 2nd best idea to the jelly bean planting @ easter. LOL i took a regular old squeeze bottle (like for ketchup or something) & filled it with the pancake batter.... then i squeezed the letter shapes onto my hot griddle! it took a few messed up letters to sort of figure out how big & thick they needed to be so they wouldn't fall apart when i flipped them. oh & i had a little problem with the batter getting stuck in the tip of the bottle... but a quick rinse with warm water fixed it. all in all, a great idea & the kids loved it!
