- Create little pancake bunny-bums or faces by cooking larger round pancakes, as well as half size rounds.
- To create a face, place two smaller pancakes in the bottom middle of the large pancake. Slice a banana in half through the middle and then horizontally to use for ears, then use fruit to create eyes and whiskers.
