Heat the electric griddle at temperature 375'F or on medium heat if using a non-stick pan over a stovetop. If pancakes are cooking too fast to catch up, lower the heat a little to slow it or adjust accordingly.

Beat the wet ingredients first (egg, butter, milk, and vanilla) then mix in the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt). Combine to get a consistency of a batter without any lumps.

Separate the batter into 3 parts. One part for the filling, one part with cocoa powder mixed for the outline. The last part can be used to mix colours you like.

Have them filled into separate ziplock bags, zip them tight and then make a small tiny cut at the corner edge of the bag. Use a glass to hold the pancake batter bags.

When the electric griddle or the non-stick pan is heated, use the chocolate pancake batter to outline a picture of your choice. Give it a few seconds to let it set.

Use coloured pancake batter to add other details. Again give it a few seconds to let it set.

Use the plain batter to fill out any places that need a filling or pour it over to bind all the details together.

When bubbles start appearing more, get a peek under to see if it has turned to a golden shade. 

Flip the pancake design carefully to cook the other side too. Wait until it has turned to a golden shade before taking it off the heat.

NOTE - The colours may appear duller because it comes out cooked. Try a brighter shade or neon colours to light up those pancakes arts.
