READY IN 30 MINUTES SERVES 8
Ingredients:
240g pack berry medley
2½ tbsp clear honey, plus extra for brushing (optional)
155g bottle pancake shaker mix
2½ tbsp clear honey, plus extra for brushing (optional)
155g bottle pancake shaker mix
Method:
- Heads & Bodies:
- Use blueberries or halved grapes for the heads.
- Use whole grapes for the bodies.
- Eyes:
- Gently separate the seeds from raspberries to use as tiny eyes.
- If using honey, lightly brush the heads and stick the raspberry seeds on as eyes. Set aside.
- Legs:
- Slice each grape or blueberry crosswise into 4 thin discs.
- Cut each disc in half to create 8 curved leg pieces.
- Prepare the Batter:
- Add 200ml water to the pancake shaker bottle (even if it’s below the fill line).
- Shake vigorously for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Pour some batter into an icing bottle or piping bag fitted with a 3mm nozzle.
- Cook the Webs:
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly oil it.
- Pipe the batter into a cross shape (10–12cm wide), then add another cross at a 45° angle.
- Connect the ends and centers with curved lines to form a spider web.
- Cook each side for 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden.
- Repeat with remaining batter, refilling the bottle as needed.
Assemble & Serve:
- Place the fruity spiders on the webs: heads, bodies, and legs arranged in place.
- Drizzle with honey if desired.
- Serve with extra fruit on the side for a spooky-sweet treat!
