Equipment

Stovetop griddle

Ingredients

1 large egg
1½ cups whole milk
2 tablespoons butter melted and cooled, plus extra for cooking
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1½ cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoons shredded coconut sweetened
1 small banana
8 blueberries
Whipped cream
Fruit for decorating & serving
maple syrup or honey

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl beat the egg, milk, melted butter (which has cooled), and vanilla bean paste.
In another medium mixing bowl mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and whisk until just combined – the batter should be somewhat lumpy. Do not over mix.
Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. It will puff up slightly.
During this time, melt a little butter in a large skillet or on a large griddle over medium-high heat.
To make the bunny, first make the round pancake, which will be the large part of the bunny's body. Scoop the batter onto the hot griddle, pouring to make it a nice circle. You can shape it a little while still wet but it sets quickly so hurry. Cook the pancake until you see bubbles forming on the top (about 2 minutes). At this point, it should be set underneath and you can push the spatula underneath and flip the pancake over. Cook another minute or so and remove to a plate.
Repeat, making a smaller circle (head), two tiny circles (feet) and two long ear shapes.
Lay the pancakes out on a plate, ears first at the top of the plate, then the head slightly overlapping the base of the ears, then the body, and finally the feet.
Pipe (or spray) a dollop of whipped cream above the feet to make the bunny’s little cotton tail. Sprinkle the cream with sweetened coconut. Place a little coconut on top of its head too, for a tuft of hair.
Place a slice of banana on each foot, with blueberries underneath each slice. These will make the bunny's toes.
Decorate the remainder of the plate how you prefer with some fruit, honey, or maple syrup and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe makes two very big bunnies. If you want to make bunnies for smaller children, you could probably get three or even four. You will need additional fruit for the extra bunnies.

How do I shape the pancakes?

It’s actually pretty easy to do this by hand with the spoon or measuring cup that you’re using to scoop the batter. When you’ve poured the desired amount of batter onto the griddle, just move it around on the skillet a little with the back of your spoon.
