Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Spider Pancakes
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Decorate with Blackberries: Place blackberries on top of the icing web to resemble spiders, arranging them nicely for a festive appearance.
- Add Candy Eyes: Use a dab of icing to attach candy googly eyes to the blackberries for a fun look.
- Serve Immediately: Serve spider pancakes warm, optionally with a side of festive fruit salad or a glass of milk.
