WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
Whether you’re making these for Christmas morning, a December brunch, or a holiday party spread, they bring instant joy to the table.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. No need to overmix, just until combined.
STEP 1: MIX THE DRY INGREDIENTS
STEP 2: MIX THE WET INGREDIENTS
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, beaten eggs, and melted butter.
STEP 3: MAKE THE BATTER
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix or the pancakes will be tough.
STEP 4: COOK THE PANCAKES
Heat and lightly grease the surface.Make equal amounts of large and small pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden.
STEP 5: CREATE THE FACE
Lay one large pancake on the plate. Place the smaller pancake toward the bottom center to form the snout.
STEP 6: ADD THE FEATURES
For the eyes, add two dollops of whipped cream topped with blueberries. For the nose, add whipped cream in the center of the small pancake, topped with half a strawberry.
STEP 7: ADD ANTLERS AND SERVE
Break two cooked bacon strips into “branch” shapes and place at the top of the pancake. Serve immediately while warm—and prepare for lots of smiles!
