Quick and easy pancake cereal tips

The pancake batter is easy to put together and flavoured with cinnamon and vanilla. You’ll need a piping bag or spoon to add the dollops of batter into the pan and check that they fry evenly. Some topping suggestions include the usual banana and berries if you’re looking for something healthy. You can go the classic route with just milk or yoghurt as if you’re having regular cereal or go savoury with some bacon bits. The toppings and additions are all up to you, making it a versatile meal that can always change.
