A Fun Breakfast Trend the Whole Family Will Love

Pancake Spaghetti is a viral TikTok recipe that turns classic pancake batter into thin, sweet, noodle-like strands. It’s quick, fun, and perfect for kids or anyone who wants a creative twist on a classic breakfast.

With simple pantry ingredients and a fast cooking method, this recipe brings joy and playfulness to the table — a reminder that even everyday meals can spark smiles and create memories.

Ingredients for Pancake Spaghetti

• 1 cup self-raising flour

• 1 cup milk

• 1 egg

• 1 tbsp sugar (optional)

• 1 tbsp melted butter or oil

• 1 tsp vanilla essence

• Butter or oil for cooking

Optional Toppings:

• Maple syrup

• Strawberries or berries

• Icing sugar

• Whipped cream

• Nutella

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the batter. In a bowl, whisk together flour, milk, egg, sugar (if using), melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

2. Fill a bottle or piping bag. Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag with a small round tip.

3. Heat the pan. Warm a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

4. Create the spaghetti. Squeeze thin lines of batter into the pan, forming long “spaghetti” strands.

5. Cook. Fry for 1–2 minutes until golden underneath, then flip briefly if needed.

6. Serve. Plate warm with maple syrup, berries, icing sugar, or your favourite toppings.

Helpful Tips

• Batter must be smooth so it squeezes easily — add a splash of milk if too thick.

• Lower heat works best to prevent burning the thin strands.

• Use a squeeze bottle for the cleanest spaghetti lines.

• Make a big batch and freeze — they reheat beautifully.
