Description

Bloody Good Pancakes feature homemade fluffy pancakes topped with a luscious strawberry maple syrup that resembles spooky fake blood, perfect for a fun and festive breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale

Pancakes

  • 1 recipe Homemade Fluffy Pancake Mix

Strawberry Maple Syrup

  • 3 cups diced strawberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup


Instructions

  1. Prepare Pancakes: Make your pancakes according to your homemade fluffy pancake mix instructions. Once cooked, place them in the oven on a warm setting to keep them heated while you prepare the syrup.
  2. Cook Strawberries: In a saucepan, add diced strawberries, granulated sugar, orange juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
  3. Strain Mixture: Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and press the strawberry mixture through to remove seeds and pulp, creating a smooth syrup base.
  4. Mix Syrup: Whisk the vanilla and maple syrup into the strained strawberry liquid until well combined.
  5. Serve: Pour the strawberry maple syrup generously over the warm pancakes. For a dramatic Halloween effect, stab a knife through the top of the pancake stacks to mimic stabbing blood.

Notes

  • Use the best homemade fluffy pancake mix for the fluffiest texture.
  • The strawberry maple syrup creates a sticky, vibrant red topping perfect for spooky presentations.
  • Adjust sugar levels to taste depending on strawberry sweetness.
  • Keep pancakes warm in the oven while preparing syrup to ensure an enjoyable temperature at serving.
