In a mixing bowl, stir together the first five ingredients. In another bowl, blend the remaining ingredients. Add the egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Stir mixture just until blended.

Prepare Buttermilk Pancakes. If desired, set one marshmallow and seven chocolate chips in a custard cup or bowl for each child. Start heating a high-quality nonstick frying pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Coat generously with nonstick cooking spray.

Using a 1/3-cup measure, fill it with some of the batter and pour it in the bottom portion of the pan--to make Mickey's head. Then fill a 1/8-cup measure with some of the batter and pour it at the upper left portion of the head--to make one of Mickey's ears. Fill the 1/8-cup measure again pour it at the upper right portion of the head--to make Mickey's other ear.

Watch carefully, and when the bottom of the Mickey pancake is lightly browned and bubbles appear, use an extralong spatula to flip the entire Mickey pancake over. (Place the long spatula under the head and as much under the right ear as possible. Then flip the Mickey pancake over in the direction of the left ear.) Once the pancake is flipped, press two chocolate chips into the pancake to make the eyes and use the five remaining chocolate chips to make a big smile. The big marshmallow can be pressed into the pancake to make the nose. When the bottom of the pancake is lightly browned, remove the Mickey to a serving plate and start all over again.
