Pancake Bear and Marvellous Marmalade

a) In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs and water (see pantry for both amounts). Mix until smooth.

b) Heat a tablespoon of neutral oil (such as sunflower or vegetable oil) in a large frying pan on medium heat. TIP: You may need to add more oil after the first few pancakes to stop them from sticking to the pan.

TIP: You will know when your pancake is ready to flip when bubbles start to form on the top and the edges look dry and set.

a) Pour some of the pancake mixture into the pan using a ladle. TIP: Pour the mixture into the pan using small circular motions - the mixture should spread into an even circular shape, from the inside out. Stop pouring when the pancake is the width you want (see step 1) and 0.5cm thick. TIP: If your mixture has thickened a little while making the pancakes, add 1-2 tbsp of water and give it a good mix. 

b) Cook the pancake according to step 1's timings. Once the bottom of the pancake is golden, use a spatula to gently flip it.

c) Remove from the pan to a serving board and repeat with the remaining mixture.

a) To assemble your pancake bear, pop 1 medium pancake on top of a large pancake and slide it to the edge to make bear's snout.

b) Place 2 small pancakes at the top of the large pancake to make the ears. Pop a few chocolate chips on the small pancakes to resemble the inside of the ears.

a) Use 2 blueberries to make his eyes and 1 more for the nose.

b) Snip off a small section from a corner of the red berry compote packet to create a small hole, then carefully pipe a smile on the medium pancake and connect the smile to the nose with a stright line.
