Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:

Gather the ingredients for the pancakes. I went with a standard kefir batter, but you can use any favorite recipe of your own. The key is a medium-thick batter — that's the easiest to draw with.
Step 2:

Add the sugar, salt, and baking soda to the kefir and stir well. You can slake the soda with lemon juice or vinegar, but there's really no need — the acidity in the kefir is plenty. Let the kefir sit for about five minutes so the soda can react. This makes the pancakes tastier and fluffier.
Step 3:

Add the eggs and stir.
Step 4:

Add the flour a little at a time so no lumps form, whisking well as you go. Watch the consistency: the batter should flow easily but not be too runny. Finally, stir in the vegetable oil so the pancakes don't stick to the pan.
Step 5:

For this method, you'll need a plastic squeeze bottle with a nozzle. If you don't have one, use a baby's sippy-cup bottle or an empty ketchup bottle. Pour the batter into it.
Step 6:

Heat a pancake pan and lightly grease it with vegetable oil. Start drawing. First lay down the outline of your design — it'll cook to a darker shade.
Step 7:

After about two minutes, fill in the outline with more batter. Cook for a couple more minutes.
Step 8:

Flip it. Here's the little apple we made. Cook it like an ordinary pancake — the back comes out plain.
Step 9:

Let your imagination take over and draw whatever you like. Better yet, get your kids in on the baking — I think they'll love it. Just don't leave them alone at a hot stove; let them cook under your supervision.

You can draw simple shapes this way or intricate lacy patterns — just make the batter a little thinner for the fancy ones. You can even take it further and make multicolored designs: divide the batter into a few bowls and stir food coloring into each. Draw the outline in one color, fill it with a second, and add the details with a third. It comes out beautifully!
