Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or dairy-free milk with lemon juice)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Blueberries for eyes and decorations (fresh or frozen)
  • Banana slices for ears and nose details

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. (Approx. 3 minutes)
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. (Approx. 3 minutes)
  3. Make the batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture and gently fold until just combined. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat the skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Shape bunny pancakes: Using a spoon or squeeze bottle, pour a large oval for the face and two smaller elongated ovals for ears. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set (2-3 minutes).
  6. Flip carefully: Flip pancakes and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Decorate: While warm, press blueberries for eyes and banana slices for ears and nose. Optionally add honey or cinnamon.
  8. Serve immediately: Enjoy fresh and warm. Keep extras warm in a low oven (200°F) if needed.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Use a thin, flexible spatula for flipping delicate shapes. Medium heat is best to avoid burning or undercooking. Batter can be prepared ahead by mixing dry and wet ingredients separately and combining before cooking.
