How to Make Pancake Spaghetti

- Carefully, transfer the pancake batter into a piping bag.
- Over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter to a sauce pan and let it melt.
- Cut a small hole in the tip of the piping bag and drag the bag in a zig-zag motion across the pan to create a long, thin, spaghetti-like strip of batter. You’re going to need to work quickly doing this because it’s time to flip in no time.

Storage
These pancake strips get devoured everytime I make a batch, but if you have leftovers, store them just as you would if you made pancakes the traditional way. Place leftovers in a ziptop bag, or wrapped in foil. You can refrigerate them for up to 2 days and can reheat your leftovers in the microwave.
Tips and Variations
- The cooking time suggested may change depending on your heat source and how hot your saucepan is.
- Work quickly once you lay out your thin lines of pancake batter as they can burn and brown very quickly! It may take you a couple of practice runs before you get the timing of when you need to flip these properly. Remember, big pancakes are ready when you see the little bubbles bursting, you may not see those with this style of pancake since they’re so thin.
- If you don’t want to use the stove, you can use a hot griddle.
- If you don’t have a piping bag to use for these, you can use a squeeze bottle or a ziptop plastic bag and trim the tip off to create a tiny hole for the .
- If you find your pancake strips are burning, then decrease to low heat and try making the next batch that way.
- Use whatever simple pancake batter you enjoy, there is no right or wrong here! If you don’t want to make your own pancake batter with our recipe, you can use a boxed version. Just follow the package directions.
- Serve these with maple sausage, breakfast sausage, some scrambled eggs, or anything else you like to eat with regular pancakes.
