How to Celebrate National Pancake Day in Your Own Home

Can't afford to go to national pancake day on February 24,2009? IHOP is holding this event. See my suggestions on how to celebrate for less.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• pancake mix
• fruits
• chocolate chips
• syrup
• whipped cream
• peanut butter
• butter

1. Mix up pancake mix in a big bowl and put in smaller bowls. Add in different things you may have around the house like chocolate chips, fruit, bacon, and other food items. I personally like spicy things like peppers or salsa on my pancakes(without the syrup of course).

2. Next Get out the butter, syrups,jams, peanut butter,whip cream or what ever toppings you desire on the pancakes. Serve with bacon or sausage. Also put out different juices, different coffees, and a variety of drinks.

3. Make a banner and print out fliers and pass on to friends letting them know about your pancake day get together. Decorate the room with things such as pancake ads, boxes or be creative and draw pancakes or syrup bottles and put the pictures on the table cloth. Make it a fun day with friends and family.

Tips & Warnings

• have fun!
• make up songs and games to go along with the celebration
• Make other dishes such as eggs or cereal for people who cannot eat pancakes for whatever reason.
• Have the neighbors BYOS(bring your own syrup of different varieties)
• Don't eat too much
• if you can afford it go to IHOP they have great pancakes
