Whether you’re a fan of the 80s classic or just looking for a fun way to enjoy breakfast, these pancakes will surely make your day extra special.
Released in 1982, E.T. was a game-changer for the sci-fi genre and family movies. Directed by Steven Spielberg, it captured the hearts of millions worldwide with the heartwarming story of a young boy named Elliott and his unlikely friendship with an alien stranded on Earth. E.T.’s famous phrase, “E.T. phone home,” became an iconic line in movie history, and who can forget that heart-tugging scene when E.T. is finally reunited with his fellow extraterrestrials? E.T. not only left a lasting mark on pop culture but also on the box office, grossing over $792 million worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing films of its time.
Now, let’s get back to the pancakes! These E.T. pancakes feature the lovable alien’s face, with his signature glowing finger that has become a symbol of his attempt to “phone home.” The pancake design is so simple, yet fun to make, and the perfect project to get kids excited about breakfast – especially when you add a little imagination to the mix.
So, while you’re flipping these out-of-this-world pancakes, why not take a moment to dive deeper into E.T. trivia? Did you know that the famous E.T. puppet was operated by a team of 12 puppeteers? Or that E.T.’s glowing finger was inspired by the idea of creating a simple, magical way for the alien to communicate? These pancakes bring a bit of that movie magic straight to your kitchen, reminding us all of the incredible bond between Elliott and E.T., and, of course, that the power of love (and pancakes) can transcend all boundaries.
