Pancake mold

A metal utensil with sides that is used to hold and shape pancake batter while it is cooking. After the batter is prepared, it is poured into the mold that rests on the bottom of a grill or griddle. As the pancake bakes, it is formed into the shape of the mold, which may be round, square, or shaped like an animal. The molds are often used to add a festive shape to parties, special events and holidays.
