1. Unless using a pre-made mix, mix your ingredients in a bowl first. When you get the hang of it you can switch back to making it in the pancake pen.

2. Start out with thick lines. Thin lines maybe pretty if you get them right, but thick lines make it easier to learn.

3. Start the flip of pancake in the thickest part to avoid tearing the thin areas of your design.

There is no one recipe you have to use to make fun and delicious art with your pen, but you should keep what type of pancake art you are doing in mind.

If you're using your pen to fill shapes it may be extra fun with fluffy pancakes.

However if you making pancake art that needs to stand less, then a thinner pancake recipe will probably work best.

You can make thin shapes with your pancake pens. If you want fluffy thick pancakes with perfect shapes you can try using pancake shapers with your pens. To make cool designs make an outline or design in shape and let it cook for a few seconds before filling it in. You will see your design because it would have cooked just a bit longer then the other portion of the pancake.
