The best thing about Halloween is the leftover candy. Crush it, sprinkle into our favorite pancake batter and then spread it the warm pancakes with hazelnut/chocolate cream.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray
  • 1 cup regular, peanut or peanut butter M&M's, crushed
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and melted butter together until thoroughly mixed. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Set the batter aside to rest for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate, up to overnight
  2. Place a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add just enough oil to cover the bottom. Pour some of the batter into the heated skillet, using a ¼th cup measure as a scoop. When the batter is poured into the pan and has stopped spreading, sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of crushed M&M's into each cake. Cook until the bubbles form in the center and the edges are firm. Turn and cook 2 minutes more.
