Star Wars Pancake Battle

We received the Williams-Sonoma Star Wars pancake set from a friend way back at the baby shower. I hadn't had the wherewithal to make them for a few months and then I decided we'd all sample them together so we waited until Hac was ready for them.

On Jac's birthday I set out on my maiden SW pancake-making voyage. Admittedly, I made some rookie mistakes. I was making pumpkin pancakes instead of plain ones so the consistency was a little different, but that wasn't the issue. No, I pretty much forgot about the existence of butter and/or cooking spray until I'd already poured the pancakes into their molds. Not good. Also non-stick pans and accessories are not as forgiving as one might hope. I tried to retroactively grease the wheels but it was not successful.

But, I gave it another whirl and the pancakes were passable. I know better now. Next time I will thoroughly grease everything before I go anywhere near the batter and I'll put a bit less in each mold so that the openings are more pronounced. Still, they were deliiiicious.
