Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Chocolate chips for decoration
- Whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well blended and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until fully combined. Make sure the melted butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Once the skillet is hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. To create Olaf's shape, use a smaller amount of batter for the head and larger amounts for the body and arms.
- Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm on a plate while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- To assemble Olaf, stack the pancakes to create his body: place the larger pancake at the bottom, followed by a smaller pancake for the head. You can use additional smaller pancakes for arms if desired.
- Decorate Olaf with chocolate chips for eyes, buttons, and a mouth. Use whipped cream to create snow on top or as a fun garnish around the pancakes.
- Serve your Disney's Frozen Olaf pancakes warm with extra whipped cream on the side. Enjoy your delightful breakfast!
Tips
- Mixing Matters: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, remember that a few lumps are okay! Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes, so stir gently until just combined.
- Heat Control: Make sure your skillet is at the right temperature. If it’s too hot, your pancakes may burn on the outside while remaining raw inside. A medium heat works best for even cooking.
- Creative Shapes: To create Olaf's shape, use varying amounts of batter: a smaller amount for the head and larger amounts for the body and arms. You can even use cookie cutters to help shape them if you're feeling extra creative!
- Decoration Fun: Get creative with your toppings! Use chocolate chips for facial features and buttons, and don’t be afraid to pile on the whipped cream for a snowy effect.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your Olaf pancakes immediately for the best taste and texture. Consider pairing them with fresh fruit or a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra special touch!
