Pancake Cereal

TikTok struck again with this viral food trend that started off like so many other successful modern-day recipes—by mistake. Sydney Melhoff was making regular pancakes one day in April when she ate a stray piece of batter that had splattered onto the side of the pan. Then she decided to replicate the mini pancake to make an entire bowl that could be eaten like cereal. The gimmick caught on like wildfire, with people making pancake cereal and topping it with maple syrup, a pad of butter and milk.

To make, follow your favorite pancake recipe, drop the batter in small quantities into your skillet, and cook like regular pancakes, flipping when the bottom is browned and cooked. Let cook through, and transfer to a bowl. Garnish with your favorite pancake toppings or just add milk.
