Ingredients:

240g pack berry medley
2½ tbsp clear honey, plus extra for brushing (optional)
155g bottle pancake shaker mix
Just Eat
Deliveroo
Uber Eats

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!
