Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Spiderweb Pancakes
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Whisk together until well mixed.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup of buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until smooth.
  3. Place a cast-iron skillet or non-stick griddle over medium-low heat and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
  4. Using a squeeze bottle or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off, pour a small circular base of batter onto the skillet and draw small lines radiating outward to create a spiderweb shape.
  5. Allow the spiderweb pancake to cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Transfer the cooked pancake to a warm plate, repeating the process with the remaining batter.
  7. Serve warm with toppings like powdered sugar, fresh blackberries, or sprinkles.
