🍓 Ingredients

Not only are these the cutest thing ever, but they also only take a handful of ingredients. Let’s talk about the main ingredients you will need:

Pancake Mix: You can use a pre-packaged pancake mix or a homemade version. Both work great and give you a terrific flavor.

Strawberries: The most important ingredient is strawberries. They will give the look of the adorable Santa hats, and they happen to taste good too.

Marshmallows: You will need a variety of large and small marshmallows to create the look of these cute pancake skewers.

🎁 Instructions 

These are so easy to make and who doesn’t like food on a stick? 

Step One: Prep the strawberries by cutting thin slices for layering between the pancakes. Cut the end off a strawberry to form the pointed Santa’s hat. 

Step Two: Make the pancakes from your favorite pancake batter mix. I used the recipe on the back of the Bisquick box. Nothing too special to add here. Make them about the size of 50 cent pieces. 

Note: Make sure to heat up the skillet before you start pouring the batter. Always make a very small tester pancake first to make sure your temperature is set. Sometimes it may overheat and will burn and other times it isn’t hot enough and the pancakes won’t get brown. Take the time and do the small test pancake first! 

Step Three: The white top of the hat is a little mini marshmallow. Don’t try to cut a regular marshmallow up to make it fit as it is so gooey and just makes a mess. 

I used a rolling pin to flatten full sized marshmallows to layer between the pancakes and the strawberry slices.  

Step Four: Hold it all together with toothpicks and sprinkle powdered sugar on top to make it look like snow! 

Serve with maple syrup (or any other flavored syrup) or whipped cream. Make a delicious honey butter to put on the side by combining a ½ cup of butter with a ¼ cup of honey and whip until light and fluffy! Or, just eat them plain, like my family did.

🔖 Serving Tips

Think about making these for a Christmas buffet, Santa breakfast or a sweet treat to make as you get ready to visit Santa for pictures! 

For anyone that is heading into the office, don’t worry, you can take these in. Check out the honey butter below to make for your office mates to enjoy!
