Make ahead Shamcakes

Today, Misses wanted pancakes for lunch. I think lunch is a silly meal, so we eat all kinds of things for lunch. She not only wanted pancakes, but she wanted purple pancakes. I color most of her food, when she asks, because she eats more that way. Anyway, I did not have the red to make purple because I had dropped it in the purple soup she requested last week. I began to make the pancakes and thought, I can make them green and use a shamrock cookie cutter. Ooh! Idea! I can make the entire batch, cut them out, and freeze them. This way I won't have to worry about making them on St. Patrick's Day.

What you need
* Bisquick or pancake mix
* green food coloring
* cookie cutter


How to

Make the batter per the package instructions and add a few drops of green food coloring.

Poor some batter into a hot skillet and cook through on both sides.

Then remove from skillet and use a shamrock cookie cutter to cut out the shape.

Bubba and I the scraps for lunch, that way none were wasted.

Check out those mad cookie cutter skills.  

Bubba really liked them!

Serve on a plate with your favorite pancake topping.

We like syrup . . . a lot!

If you are making ahead of time . . .

let them cool on a plate.

Put them in a baggie or baggies and place in the freezer till you want to eat.

To warm them, remove from bag, place on microwave safe plate, and heat for 30 sec. or till warm.

Top with toppings and ENJOY!

Happy St. Patrick's Day
