March 9 is Barbie’s birthday! Barbie is an icon of childhood play.
As a girl, I remember the world we created around our Barbie dolls. Today is no different. Girls around the world dream through play with Barbie.
Did you know that one Barbie doll is sold every 3 seconds somewhere in the world?
Kids Activities Blog thought it would be fun to celebrate this epic event with a special breakfast for Barbie. We are making pink pancakes! We are giddy to be working with Barbie to celebrate her big day!
How to Make Pink Pancakes
Pink pancakes taste like strawberry shortcake and are a delightful shade of pink.
Did you know that over 90% of girls ages 3-10 own at least one Barbie doll in the U.S.?
Pink Pancake Ingredients:
- 1 quart of strawberries
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup of oil
- 1 egg
- 2 cups of pancake mix
- 1/4 cup sugar or strawberry syrup
Wash the strawberries and cut the tops off. Place the buttermilk in a blender and add the strawberries. Blend until completely smooth. Measure out 2 cups of the strawberry/buttermilk mixture and it to the oil, egg and pancake mix.
If the mixture isn’t as pink as you would like, then add strawberry syrup to it instead of sugar to sweeten.
If the batter is the proper thickness, then pour on a greased griddle at 350 degrees flipping when golden pink.
If the batter is too thin, add a little more pancake mix. If the batter is too thick, then add some of the reserved strawberry/buttermilk mixture or additional strawberry syrup.
Stack and top with more strawberries or a simple glaze of milk & powdered sugar. Add pink sprinkles if desired.
Invite Barbie and friends for a breakfast treat!
