T he easiest way to host a propersleepover party is to settle the kidsonto the couch or throw pillows, serveHalf-Moon Black and White Cookies

(page 58), and play an age-appropriate

movie. If you want to keep it simple, classic

salt-and-butter popcorn, one of my favorite

snacks, is equally delicious. When the

movie is over, there is always charades; or,

for older children or teens, set a table with

candles, turn out the lights, and play Ouija

or foretell the future with tarot cards and

palm reading. And the nights grand finale:CAKE! What could be more perfect for a

sleepover party than a three-dimensional

bed decorated with your childs favorite

colors or patterns? Then its time for

bedHA! Let the giggling begin.

In the morning, wake the kids with the

delicious aroma of Banana Bear Pancakes,

Oven French Toast, and Cinnamon Bread.These breakfast treats are classic and kid

friendlyfull of banana, cinnamon, choco-

late, and, of course, sugarand theyre so

irresistible youll want to make them every

weekend.

Heres an idea you might not have

thought of: my friend Jamie toyed with the

idea of having a girls sleepover, but the

girls she had in mind were all grown-up

moms. Sometimes you just need to gettogether with your best friends, wear

comfy pjs, eat good food (yes, I mean

cake), and relax.

Kids canKids can help make this batter from start to

finish. You dont even need an electric

mixer, just a bowl and a spoon. If the chil-

dren are old enough to be near the stove,

they can pour the batter onto the griddle

and design their own pancake animals.

The Best Sleepover Ever 61

Have on hand a griddle or a frying pan. Have allingredients at room temperature.

Sift into a bowl:2 cups cake flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

teaspoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons sugar

In a separate bowl, mix together:3 extra-large egg yolks

6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

1 cups milk

cup mashed bananas (about 1 banana)

Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and

whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; the

batter will be slightly lumpy.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat at high

speed until soft peaks form:3 extra-large egg whites

Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.

To make bear pancakes, pour the batter into a

squeeze bottle.

Have on hand: cup vegetable shortening or nonstick spray

cup chocolate chips

Heat a griddle or a fr ying pan over medium heat

and grease the pan with shortening or nonstick

spray (butter has a tendency to burn).

To create the outline of the eyes and the snout

when the pancake is turned over, squeeze out a

2-inch oval of batter onto the hot pan and pipe

two dots above the oval, offset from each other.Let cook for approximately 15 seconds. Overpipe

a large circle, covering the oval and dots. Pipe

2 ears on the top, offset from each other. Flip

the pancakes when bubbles form (1 to 2 min-

utes per side). Press chocolate chips

into the center of the eyes and

oval (nose). Repeat with

the remaining batter.

Remove the pan-

cakes and serveimmediately.

BANANA BEAR

PANCAKESWhen I was a little girl my mom made me teddy bear pancakes, then I made

them for myself, and now I make them for my son. My mom, the queen of

overripe and spotted bananas, always sliced a few extra to add on top. This

time around, they are pureed so they more thoroughly incorporate into the

batter, adding a wonderful and aromatic flavor. Liv

Yield: approximately 12 pancakes
