In our house it is my amazing husband who is the master of breakfast! He is always making different delicious pancakes, waffles, and muffins. This Halloween he decided to try something new. He has made pumpkin pancakes in the past (they are my absolute favorite by the way). However he has never made pumpkin shaped pancakes!
This was the first time he has ever attempted to make decorative pancakes and it was much easier than I would have thought. All you need is pancake batter, a squirt bottle and an idea!

How to Make Pumpkin Shaped Pancakes!
The first thing you have to do is fill your squirt bottle with your pancake batter.
When your skillet is heated over medium heat you can begin building your pumpkin. First you draw the outline of the pumpkin.
Next you draw two curved lines on the interior of the pumpkin.
Finally draw the stem on the top of the pumpkin.
Allow your pumpkin outline to cook. The goal is for the outline to appear darker than the rest of the pancake so it is important to let it fully cook.
Once the outline is filled with bubbles you can fill in the holes with pancake batter. Try to guide the batter so that it fills in the missing parts without spilling over. (Although if it spills over that just gives it more character ;)
Once the pancake is bubbling all over you can flip it and reveal your design!
When you pancake is fully cooked you can top it with syrup and enjoy!

After about 5 pumpkins my hubby got bored and decided to mix it up. Here are some of his other creations!
