Santa Pancakes

Description

Here's a sweet tradition for Christmas morning. These adorable Santa pancakes are super simple to make -- easy enough to get the kids involved.  

Start with our light and fluffy made-from-scratch buttermilk pancakes. Top the pancakes with sliced, fresh strawberries to make Santa’s red hat. Then give Santa two chocolate chip eyes and a red candy nose. Lastly let the kids go wild with the whipped cream to create the furry portion of his hat and his white beard. 

You're sure to see lots of smiles around the table on Christmas morning. In fact, we bet they'll be asking for these pancakes for years to come.

This recipe makes approximately 12 pancakes.
