6. Use as many nicknames as possible (flapjacks, hotcakes, Johnnycakes, silver dollars, etc.) while making and eating the meal. Say anything but ‘pancake’.

7. Cut the pancakes into shapes.

Begin with hearts; eventually progress into giraffes and jellyfish.

8. Include a ridiculous amount of fruit, both in and on top of the pancakes.
