More About This Recipe

  • Merry Breakfast! With some simple batter, food colors and a bit of Christmas magic, you can make morning as mischievous as Santa's elves. Santa's about to fall down your chimney in like 20 minutes and you better be ready. He's not kidding around. I fully believe the best way to get prepped for the holidays is to have a metric ton of chocolate sprinkles, pearl sugar balls and various bottles of food coloring on hand. Why? We're giving our breakfast a HOLIDAY MAKEOVER with these Holiday Hot Cakes and Waffles. And I'm your host. Pour some eggnog, get your kids involved and go jolly balls out with this. Santa recommends it. Here's how! Grab your trusty Bisquick pancake mix, along with the decoration goods to pull this whole awesome mess together. You didn't think such a party could occur in your kitchen that early in the morning, did ya? More Morning Magic Holiday mornings are magical enough, but add some great breakfast eats and they're downright delish! Here are some recipes to get you going.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Bisquick™ Original baking mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 10 drops red food coloring
  • 10 drops green food coloring
  • 2 tablespoons white pearl sprinkles
  • 1 tablespoon edible red glitter sprinkles
  • 4 mini candy canes, crushed
  • 2 tablespoon vanilla frosting
  • 1 teaspoon chocolate sprinkles
  • 1 star cookie cutter

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick™ mix, milk and eggs. Whisk until combined. Divide the mixture evenly into 2 bowls (one bowl per color, so use more bowls if you plan to use more colors).
  • Step 
    2
    Squirt the food coloring into each bowl. (Amount of food coloring can vary according to what kind you're using, so test it after each three drops or so.)
  • Step 
    3
    Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium-high. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Sprinkle each cake with the crushed candy canes. When you see bubbles, flip the cake and finish cooking.
  • Step 
    4
    Also, heat your waffle iron for the waffle trees. Pour the green batter into the waffle iron, making 4 trees at a time.
  • Step 
    5
    Once all the pancakes and waffles are cooked, take the star cookie cutter and cut out some stars. Then get to decorating!
  • Step 
    6
    Fill the tree holes with desired sprinkles. Using the vanilla frosting, create the tree trunks, followed by a nice sprinkling of chocolate sprinkles. Top the stars with more pearl dots. Stack em' up and eat!
