... or whichever iconic facial representation you want to have burned into your pancake, in order to ebay the result.-- Ian Tindale, Feb 08 2005 Inspired this GridgriddleCapable of customized images [half, Feb 09 2005] Jesus Pan http://www.jesuspan.com/ [jutta, Sep 06 2006] probably available here http://www.landoverbaptist.org/The only Church that I visit regularly [xenzag, Sep 07 2006] "I'm just a hunk a hunk a burnin' dough..."-- robinism, Feb 08 2005 would it make tossin' difficult?-- po, Feb 08 2005 "Im sorry sir, no photographers, the family is very distraught after their loss"
"No, no, you don't understand, i have to cast his death mask for the pancake frying pan"
"Oh, sorry, I didn't realise. Hey I just loved that one you did of Curt Cobain - delicious when the syrup settles into the gunshot wound"-- benfrost, Feb 08 2005 Tonight's pancakes will be lacking something when I serve them up without my face etched into each and every one.-- wagster, Feb 08 2005 your face,wag?
just bury your face in the batter as it cooks.-- po, Feb 08 2005 Aaaaaaaaaargh! MY FACE!
Thanks [po].-- wagster, Feb 08 2005 [+] pantastic. You could use a combo of cookie-cutter + bottom faceplate. Then it could be thin metal, cheap, and you could have several on hand for making a whole family of celebrity custom pancakes. (You only need to implant one side, so flip it onto the faceplate mid-way.)
.... not that it would make it a batter idea, but I try.-- sophocles, Feb 08 2005 Even easier: Cut out a thin plastic template with the appropriate features. Lay this over a teflon skillet. Spray oil. Remove template. Spray on layer of thinned pancake mix using a spray bottle, then pour on mix. Make sure mix doesn't have oil as an ingredient. The increased heat transfer through the oil should make the template areas a bit darker.
Ok, not easier. But something you can make with household items.
(half-powered light turns on over head) Using the template technique, it should be easy to look like you're performing miracles. Prepare a piece of bread with templated oil, proclaim your magical powers, then toast.-- Worldgineer, Feb 08 2005 (pedals generator frantically, still can't power a light worthy of a Worldgineer idea)-- half, Feb 08 2005 Takes large bucket of premixed croissant dough, from behind [half]'s pedal generator. [half] doesn't realise he's been mixing dough for me for the last three months.-- UnaBubba, Feb 08 2005 Elvis Pancake Coptic Frying Pan sounds like a band from the 60s.-- JesusHChrist, Feb 08 2005 this is baked for waffles anyway. my mother sent me a tweetybird/sylvester wafflemaker. i get to choose which one i feel the most like eating, by which side of the cookplate is facing up.-- elfling, Feb 09 2005 now the image of you eating sylvester eating tweetie pie is quite amusing-- po, Feb 09 2005 pretty sweet, ain't it.-- elfling, Feb 09 2005 [World] - why couldn't you have posted that before I started my pancake marathon last night?
I'm off to cut the Blessed Virgin's face out of a sheet of plastic and make my fortune on eBay.-- wagster, Feb 09 2005 +I want more! Text, hearts, mandalas, brand names, the name of the diner serving me my breakfast. I think this is more practical with waffles because of the difficulty of flipping pancakes on an irregular surface.-- Wisconsin, Feb 09 2005 Maybe you could even make shapes with a function. Like pockets to hold syrup. Perhaps design these pockets so that every surface has a constant thickness so that there aren't any doughy areas.-- Worldgineer, Feb 09 2005 Oh ... my god.-- reensure, Feb 09 2005 ... why hast thou forsaken me?-- UnaBubba, Feb 09 2005 Thou hast made a graven likeness of the Lord, on a wafflemaker?-- UnaBubba, Sep 07 2006 halfbakery
