I saw a really cute sweet the other day... a bear shaped macaron. It was so cute I wanted to make one myself, but I've never made macarons and they seem difficult. So I decided to make bear shaped buns instead. (Translator's note: In Japanese, both names are puns: the bear (kuma)-shaped macaron was a 'kuma-caron', and the bear-shaped bun (manjuu) is a 'kuma-njuu'.)The amount of milk to add to the pancake mix may differ depending on the brand. When adding more milk after the first tablespoonful, add by droplets. Knead the dough well, when it's smooth and not sticky it's OK. If the dough cracks when you flatten it, add a bit more milk. For 3 buns. Recipe by Shiropiyo

These are the biscuits (British term for cookies) that I made for my daughter's third birthday. The basic vanilla cookie recipe is from the BBC Good Food website. I used cookie cutters to make Spongebob related shapes, but look online for practically any theme cutters...
