Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Spider Pancakes
  1. Prepare Your Pancake Base: Start by laying out your favorite pancakes on a serving plate. If using frozen pancakes, warm them in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until they’re just heated through. Make sure they are stacked nicely for presentation.
  2. Make the Icing: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with a few teaspoons of water until you achieve a drizzling consistency. Optionally blend in a drop of vanilla extract for flavor.
  3. Transfer Icing for Design: Carefully transfer the icing to a small plastic sandwich bag. Snip a tiny corner from the bag to create a piping tool for decorating.
  4. Decorate with Blackberries: Place blackberries on top of the icing web to resemble spiders, arranging them nicely for a festive appearance.
  5. Add Candy Eyes: Use a dab of icing to attach candy googly eyes to the blackberries for a fun look.
  6. Serve Immediately: Serve spider pancakes warm, optionally with a side of festive fruit salad or a glass of milk.
