How to prepare the Pancake Art Panqueques del Día de los Muertos for Halloween
Mix eggs, orange juice, banana and milk and then add the flour.
Be sure to stir well to avoid lumps forming.
Pour the Pancake Art batter into a squeeze bottle.
There can be a little more batter in the first bottle for the Panqueques del Día de los Muertos for Halloween, because you will probably need more of the light-colored liquid.
So leave a rest in the bowl.
Add chocolate syrup to the remaining pancake batter, mix well again and fill the second squeeze bottle with the dark Pancake Art batter.
Grease the pan with a little butter or margarine and start by tracing the contours of the characters you like with the dark Halloween Pancake Art dough.
How about a pumpkin or skull, for example?
Witch hats, brooms and tombstones are also typical Halloween symbols that are suitable for the Panqueques del Día de los Muertos.
Then fill the free areas with the light pancake batter.
When the Halloween pancake is set, turn it over.
Do this until you have used up the batter for the Panqueques del Día de los Muertos.
If you run out of dark Pancake Art batter, simply pour some of the light pancake batter into the bowl, add some chocolate syrup, mix and pour back into the squeeze bottle.
You can garnish the Mexican pancakes with honey, maple syrup or jam.
