Presidential Pancakes

We had such a fun breakfast this morning...

...in honor of our first President,

George Washington!

After being inspired by THIS post over on

Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons...

...I fired up and buttered the griddle.

I used about 1/3 of a cup of batter to create...

 ...the head shape,

making certain to make an outline

with the batter first.

 I then quickly added about 1/4 of a cup more

of batter to finish filling in the face shape.

I also made a couple of regular pancakes,

which I used for the other facial features.

Now, make sure you don't flip the pancake until...

...the entire surface of the pancake is nice and bubbly.

Otherwise,

the pancake WILL tear-

trust me on this...

;0)

When the pancakes are done cooking...

...set them aside let them cool.

After they have cooled...

...use scissors to trim the face pancake

(if needed)...

...and cut out a nose, eyebrows, and lips.

Then,

depending upon your taste preference...

 ...add powdered sugar for the hair and eyes...

 ...or use whipped cream.

Thrown in a couple of chocolate chips...

 ...and you've got 

George Washington on a plate!

He sure seemed to leave a smile

on all the kiddos' faces...

Smiley B had perhaps the best reactions

towards the pancakes...

You want me to eat who?!?!?

Oh brother...

Well, I'll give it a go...

Happy President's Day, everybody!
