Are you having Mardi Gras pancakes? Many churches do a big dinner or fundraiser. Some restaurants offer them for free!
Who doesn’t love pancakes? Add fun and you have really amazing pancakes. Then let the kids make them! Here are some delectable and fun Mardi Gras pancakes that will impress family and guests!
Of course, you need sprinkles: yellow, green, and purple!
And real whipped cream is a must! I added come real vanilla, but for adults, it would be yummy to add a tablespoon of bourbon or brandy.
Tori and Alex love to help in the kitchen. Tori mixed the pancake batter.
Tori and Alex both took turns at the griddle.
They’re not the prettiest, but it’s fun for the kids!
Serve with crispy bacon and sausage!
Laissez les bon temps roulez!

These pancaked look SO yummy!! Because I’m gluten free, I hate to have to miss out on them. Maybe I’ll eventually find a good GF pancake recipe. :) In the mean time, I think my kids will really enjoy making (and eating!) these!
I found this: http://alittleinsanity.com/all-purpose-gluten-free-flour-mix-recipe/
Perhaps I should test it and see. I have lots of GF friends and my husband SHOULD be ALL THE TIME. :)
These look so pretty and well as delicious. :-) Thanks for linking up with “Try a New Recipe Tuesday.” I hope you will be able to join us again this week. http://our4kiddos.blogspot.com/2014/03/try-new-recipe-tuesday-march-11.html
