So my kiddo requested Batman pancakes this morning, and we may have just invented something new: Batarang Pancake Dippers. Perfect for syrup dunking, little hands, and Gotham breakfast vibes.

⸻

✨ What You’ll Need

• Pancake batter (we used a healthier base: Ground up oats in the flour, oat milk, egg/Greek yogurt, vanilla)

• A Batman pancake mold (or a steady hand if you’re a chaos gremlin)

• Nonstick spray or oil

• Syrup for dunking (bonus: a little powdered sugar snow on top 👌)

🥄 Instructions

1. Preheat your griddle to medium heat (350°F).

2. Spray/grease the inside of the Bat-Signal mold.

3. Place mold flat, pour batter only halfway up (trust me, or you’ll summon The Blob of Gotham).

4. Cook until bubbles form, then carefully lift the mold off.

5. Flip the pancake, cook another 1–2 min until golden.

6. Trim the outer oval away → boom, Batarang Dippers.

7. Dust with powdered sugar, serve with a little syrup pool on the side.

💂🏻 Alfred’s Notes

• Thick batter = cleaner lines. Add a spoon of flour if yours is runny.

• Wipe the mold between pancakes for sharp shapes.

• Kiddo said “just the bat, not the oval” → instant dipper format. Genius.

🦇 Results

The Batfamily would be proud. Gotham is safe. Breakfast is served.

I found a Japanese cooking recipe website and I've been working through all the recipes.

If there is one thing, I love about Halloween treats it’s got to be Candy apples. I have eaten them every year for as long as I can remember, it’s probably the reason I love them so much. As a kid me and my sister would always eat the candy coating and hide the apple somewhere and I’m sure my kids do the same today. Candy apples bring back so many fun memories that I have had over the years, I hope that they will create fun memories for everyone I make them for too. This is such an easy recipe to make that I know once you’ve made it once you’ll be making candy apples every year just like me. This is one of those Halloween treats that actually has something healthy in it, one of your five a day and as a bonus it takes a long time to eat, so the kids end up eating a lot less candy at the end day.

 Candy Apples Recipe

Makes 12

Prep time 10 minutes

Cooking time 10 minutes

Total time 20 minutes

 Ingredients

460g of white sugar

125mls of boiling water

¼ teaspoon of cream of tartar

1 teaspoon of food colouring

½ teaspoon white vinegar

 Instructions

First wash and dry 12 granny smith apples, take all the stalks off each apple and poke a lolly stick into each apple. Place the apples on a sheet of parchment paper ready to be coated.

Next In a saucepan add 460g of white sugar, 125mls of boiling water, ¼ teaspoon of cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon of food colouring and ½ teaspoon of white vinegar and over a medium heat mix all the ingredients together until all the sugar has dissolved.

When it starts to boil stop stirring, you’ll need to boil it for about 8-10 minutes. To test if the candy is ready to coat your apples drop a few drops of boiling candy into a bowl of cold water, if the candy is still soft it needs another minute or two, if it’s hard to the touch your ready to start dipping your apples.

When dipping your apples tilt the saucepan slightly this helps to coat the apples fully, be carful not to spill any hot candy on your skin as it can cause a nasty burn.

If there is any left-over candy in the pan, grab a teaspoon and fill in the tops where the sticks go into the apples again to make sure there is no apple visible.

Leave for a few minutes to set.

 Tips and tricks

Granny smith apples are one of the best apples to use as they don’t cause bubbling once its been coated with hot candy.
