WHY YOU’LL LOVE MY MINI PANCAKE SKEWERS

You’re going to love these Mini Pancake Skewers because they’re fun to make, super cute to serve, and are always a hit at brunch.

These are easy to serve according to the season… use colorful sprinkles to turn this dish into a festive red white and blue food platter for a long holiday weekend like July 4th.

HOW TO MAKE MINI PANCAKE SKEWERS ON THE GRIDDLE

Griddle Cooking Bacon Slices — **Step 1:** Heat a griddle to medium and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5–10 minutes, flipping halfway. Remove when crisp to your liking and drain on paper towels.

**Step 2:** Wipe the griddle if desired, then add 1–2 tablespoons of butter and spoon small circles (about ½ tablespoon each) of pancake batter onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form and edges are golden, then flip and cook through.

Step 3: Once everything is ready, assemble mini skewers by layering bacon, strawberry slices, and banana slices and pancakes. Serve with your favorite toppings.

De-licious!

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST MINI PANCAKE SKEWERS

Let your pancake batter sit at room temp while the bacon cooks. It helps with fluffier results.
Don’t use soggy fruit. Slice strawberries and bananas right before serving.
Let pancakes cool slightly before skewering. This will help avoid breaking soft pancakes or burning fingers.
