Halloween Spiderweb Pancakes

Recipe Description

Make Halloweekend morning a little more fun with these easy Halloween Spiderweb Pancakes! Buttermilk pancakes are great for any occasion, but once you add the creepy-looking spider web to the pancakes, they have the spooky factor that is perfect for Halloween. 

You don’t need any art skills to whip up a batch of these easy pancakes. All you need is just a few drops of food coloring and a squeeze bottle with a slim tip. I recommend using gel food coloring that allows for easy mixing without thinning out the batter. Heat a nonstick pan and lightly grease with butter. Once the pan is hot, draw a spider web with the black-colored batter. Cook until set. Then, pour the uncolored batter over and cook until the pancake starts to bubble. Flip and cook the other side. Repeat. Have fun with it!

To make the Halloween Spiderweb Pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:
