HALLOWEEN PANCAKES WITH SOUR "SCREAM" sLIME

Halloween Pancakes with Green Sour "Scream" Slime

When you have a houseful of little hellions for Halloween, this is the perfect treat to get their gross-out gears in motion

Yield: 4–6 servings • Prep: ~10 min • Cook: ~10 min • Cuisine: Holiday • Category: Breakfast

Pancakes

• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons activated charcoal

Green Slime

• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• several drops green food coloring
• 1/4 teaspoon maple flavouring (I ran out of real syrup)

Directions

1. Preheat griddle. Add all Green Slime ingredients together and blend until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl or measuring cup add milk and two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes. This "sours" the milk.
3. In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined.
4. After your milk mixture has rested for 5 minutes, add it to the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. Add in eggs and vanilla extract, mix everything together until just combined.  
5. Stir in activated charcoal until just combined. Do not over mix.
6. Heat a skillet to medium low heat and spritz with oil or a little butter. Pour in about 1/4 cup of pancake batter. Let the pancake cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bubbles that begin to appear start to pop. When the bubbles start to pop, use a spatula to flip the pancake over and cook for another 30-60 seconds until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside. Continue this process with remaining batter until all of the pancakes have been made.
7. Serve the slime over a stack of pancakes, adding several candy eyes on top.
8. For additional effect, cut "legs" into sausage links and stand up to look like aliens.
