Grease 12cm individual oancake pans with oil, then set over medium-low heat. Pipe red and cocoa paste to make emoji faces, then spoon batter over the top. Cook gently until just set, then flip and cook for 2 minutes more. Serve with jam, syrup and cream.
Cook's Tip: If you can't find individual size pans then just use a small pancake pan and make these in batches. Individual size are available at kitchen stores, department stores and some supermarkets.
