Chocolate Cobweb Pancakes recipe

Method

1. Beat the butter in a large bowl until fluffy. An electric whisk or food mixer is best for this bit.
2. Add half the icing sugar and beat until smooth, watch out for the stuff puffing up in a cloud!
3. Add the remaining icing sugar, cocoa powder and one tablespoon of the milk, and beat until creamy. Beat in more milk if you need to loosen the icing.
4. Plate up 6 cold Sweet Dutch Pancakes and fill the icing bags with the buttercream. If you have six bags, your little ones can all do the next bit at the same time, otherwise they’ll have to take it in turns.
5. Get them to carefully ice an 8 pointed asterix star on their pancake. Then they can ice the spindly lines between the spokes that make the cobweb pattern.
6. If you have any creepy-crawly sweets for Halloween and happen to have a spider or fly, you could add this to the cobwebs.
