Ingredients

  • 12 pieces bacon
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar *granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter *melted and cooled
  • 1 egg
  • 1 banana
  • 8 blueberries
  • 4 raspberries
  • oil *for greasing pan

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until your desired level of crispness is achieved. Once the bacon is cooked, cut each strip in half.
  • While the bacon is cooking, prepare the pancake batter. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Combine the milk, butter (melted and cooled), and egg in a small bowl.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until well combined. Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes before cooking it.
  • Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and lightly grease the surface with oil or butter.
  • Add ¼ cup of batter to the griddle, this will be the face of the reindeer. Once bubbles form on the top of the batter, flip the pancake and cook the other side.
  • Use 1 ½ tablespoons of batter to form a medium circle for the reindeer's mouth and 1 tablespoon to form an even smaller circle. Once cooked and cooled, cut the smallest circle in half to create the ears.
  • Cut the banana into round slices for the base of the eyes.
  • To assemble the reindeer, arrange four pieces of bacon in the top half of the plate to create the antlers. Add the large pancake to the center of the plate, slightly overlapping the bottom of the antlers. Add the medium pancake to the bottom of the large pancake. Add half of the small pancake to each side of the large pancake for the reindeer ears. Add two banana slices topped with blueberries to the middle of the large pancake to form the eyes. Finally, place a raspberry in the middle of the medium pancake for the reindeer nose.
