Celebrate winter, snow, a snow day off school, or just make breakfast fun with snowflake pancakes!
Snowflake pancakes are so easy to create.
Prepare your pancakes, and place one onto the center of a plate.
Next, use an aerosol whipped cream container to “draw” a simple snowflake design as shown above. Make a hexagon around the border of the pancake, and add a three pointed branch coming out of each of the six points.
For a finishing, snowy touch, sprinkle some powdered sugar in the middle.
Serve snowflake pancakes alongside some fresh raspberries or strawberries and a small serving of scrambled eggs for a delightful snow day breakfast the kids will love!
What to do with the rest of the day?
Take a look at some awesome snow day activities to do with your child after breakfast is over! These links are from some of my favorite parenting and education blogs!

You are very welcome! Thank you!
With the temperature in Pittsburgh in the winter being so low, were always experiencing snow. I love that you view this as a day to make food. This would be a big hit in my house. I could definitely see the kids getting involved as well. Thanks for the post!
