Do you ever experience flashes of childhood memories? 

Those hazy recollections that bring back a rush of pure happiness and the joys of being a child?

Whenever I prepare these pancakes, I am reminded of the moments when I would devour them as a child, creating special memories with friends from my early days in kindergarten.

When I was a little girl, I used to turn these pancakes into a sandwich. I would take one pancake, spread some Nutella and candies on top, and then cover it with another pancake - that was my favorite way to enjoy them. 

I decided to surprise my little sister with these pancakes for her school breakfast, alongside fresh fruit and her favorite spread. But this time, I shaped them like Mickey Mouse, just like they serve at the breakfasts in the Disney hotels in Orlando. Mickey Mouse represents that pure happiness and innocence of childhood.
