Personalized Peanut Butter Pancakes

This is a great recipe for kids, this would be really cute to do for their birthday or if they're having another important event to "cheer them on" or just to make them feel special.

2 cups original Bisquick
1 3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 eggs

Stir Bisquick, milk, peanut butter, and eggs until blended.  Pour about 1/2 cup batter into plastic squeeze bottle with narrow opening.  Squeeze batter from bottle onto hot griddle to form a letter.  (Make letters backward so they will appear "right" when pancakes are served.)  When bottom side of letter is brown, pour 1/4 cup batter in circular motion over letter to form pancake.  Cook until edges are dry.  Turn, cook until golden brown.  Serve with peanut butter maple syrup if desired.

Peanut Butter Maple Syrup:
1 cup maple syrup
3 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
Heat ingredients to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently.  Boil and stir 3 minutes.

Gingerbread Pancakes

For my spring cleaning I am getting rid of some cookbooks, one of them being "Betty Crocker's Bisquick Cookbook" which I've only maybe used like 3 times.  But before I do, I am going to copy a few recipes.

2 1/2 cups original Bisquick
3/4 cup apple butter
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 eggs

Heat griddle or skillet; grease if necessary.  Stir all ingredients until blended.  Pour batter by a little less than 1/4 cupfuls onto hot griddle.  Cook until edges are dry.  Makes 6 servings.  1 serving of 3 pancakes=350 calories, 14g fat
