Is there anything better than light, fluffy homemade pancakes for breakfast? Nope!! Homemade pancakes are so heavenly. My kids are big pancake fans and I knew I had to come up with the perfect homemade recipe for them to enjoy. It took me a couple tries but I've done it!! Here is the best ever homemade pancakes recipe you will ever have! Homemade is best. Even though it takes a little extra time and effort, I prefer making homemade food for my family. I like knowing what is in their food and I like knowing that the food is fresh. Homemade Pancakes Makes about 8 Ingredients: 1 cup all purpose flour 2 tbsp granulated sugar 1 tbsp light brown sugar 2 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/4 cup whole milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted) 1 large egg maple syrup for serving Heat electric griddle to 350 degrees. In a bowl, with a wire whisk, stir flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add milk, vanilla, butter and egg. Stir until flour is moistened. Do not over mix as this will toughen pancakes. On a hot griddle, pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbly and then flip pancakes. Flip pancake. Cook another 3 minutes and then remove from griddle. Serve with warm maple syrup. Honestly, these pancakes are amazing. Make them for your family for breakfast and you will be a star!!!

My daughters love themed animals and are a big inspiration to my patterns. After making my amigurumi cow, I knew I wanted to create a farm theme. The next installment is here, these sweet little ducks! (Funny enough, when I started designing them they were chicks. After frogging and trying to get the details to match what I pictured in my head, they started to look more and more like ducks. My awesome pattern testers helped me pinpoint which animal they should be!) If you are new to amigurumi be sure to check out my tips and materials page to help get you started! By including or excluding the bow and eyelashes this pattern is easily adaptable to make in a boy or girl version! Equally fun is deciding the colors to make them in. Both work up to be about 13 inches tall, perfect cuddling size! If you have any questions along the way or want to share your project with us, join the Grace and Yarn Crochet Group on Facebook! I'll also keep you updated on new patterns, giveaways and tutorials! In most of my patterns I use plastic safety eyes, they are easy and fast to install. However, they are not recommended for children under 3. If you are making this for a little one or don't have the size needed on hand, I recommend using my crochet thread eyes as an alternative! You may make and sell items made from this pattern but please do not sell, share or reproduce the actual pattern. If you sell finished items online (Etsy, etc) please provide a link to the pattern and credit to me as the designer, thank you. I hope you enjoy this pattern! This is a free pattern here on my blog, if you would prefer an ad-free printable version you can purchase one for a small fee from Ravelry or Etsy. Don't forget to PIN this pattern and save to your favorite board! This post contains affiliate links, please click here for more info. Thank you for supporting Grace and Yarn! Materials: Size 4 worsted weight yarn (100g of white or yellow yarn for the body, 25g orange) 3.5 mm crochet hook (these are my favorite to use!) 15mm safety eyes Black crochet/embroidery thread for eyelashes/small amount of choice color for bow (optional) Scissors Tapestry needle (these work wonders for amigurumi with their bent tips) Stuffing (Poly-Fil and Morning Glory are my top favorites!) Stitch markers US Abbreviations: MC- Magic circle SC- Single crochet SC INC- Single crochet increase INV DEC- Invisible decrease DC- Double crochet *Slowly stuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched.

Round 23: Chain 3 and attach to the first leg with a SC (be sure both feet are facing the same direction), SC in the remaining stitches around the leg, when you reach the chain make a SC across each of the 3 chains, SC in the remaining stitches of the next leg and SC across each of the 3 chains (42 SC) This completes your join and is where your next round will start.

Add extra stuffing as you go to keep it firm and less wobbly. Next sew the wings onto the body centered with the head at round 46. Sew the tail centered on the back of the body, lightly stuffing as you go. Optional Bow- Working in a magic circle make 7 DCs, slip stitch, 7 DCs, and slip stitch again, pull your string tight and wrap it around the middle of the bow 4 times. Tie/secure in the back and cut your string leaving a long section to sew with. Sew onto your favorite side of the head! Your duck is complete! I hope you have enjoyed making this pattern.
