Apparently Miss Pear went up the stairs and asked Daddy if he would like pancakes for lunch - he said yes. There was not time to make pancakes before nap time (I was thinking would he like sandwiches, toast, or soup the way he had been feeling!)
Saturday night, after running errands the question was again, what would you like for lunch - again Miss Pear chimed in Pancakes! We had a different plan.
So finally Sunday night we had to make pancakes before Miss Pear's one track mind exploded!
Miss Pear loves pancakes, but sometimes the whole ones are a little too big for her, but she thinks "silver dollars" are great!
So for
I thought I would share my tip for making silver dollar pancakes (the little guys) that are all the same size and very little mess!
I make my regular pancake batter (Either the Buttermilk one from Better Homes and Gardens, or the More with Less one from the Baking Mix).
I use my big griddle, even though I am making small pancakes so that I can get 7 or 8 to a batch.
To transfer the batter to the griddle I use a small ice cream scoop (instead of the soup ladle I use for regular pancakes). I use one where you can squeeze it to force the batter out, and it works great! I also rub the bottom of it against the batter bowl as I take the scoop out so that it cannot drip!
This really works well as I do not have drips all over the place, and all the pancakes are the same size so they look more like silver dollars, and cook evenly, which is important when your pancakes are so small!
Head on over to Tammy's for more great tips!

Growing up my parents always made us the small ones as well. Often my dad would create our initials and we thought that was the greatest thing!
They were a bit messier but they were also much more fun for us! Good memories....
I like the ice cream scoop idea! I use my 1/4 cup measuring spoon, but the pancakes are a little larger than silver dollars. I always use our griddle, too. It's just easier and we don't have to heat up the stove etc. Plus, it seems to go so much faster with 4 hungry people drooling at the table:)
That sounds good. I'll have to make that for dinner tomorrow.
