Drawing for breakfast

Here’s a fun trick I learned from a friend in high school.  Now it’s a favorite of my kids.  We make up a batch of pancake batter and use a turkey baster as a pen.  First draw what you want to be dark then go back and fill it in.  You can actually buy pancake “pens” but I’m not quite sure why you would because I’m not quite sure what else to use a turkey baster for anyway.
