For each teddy bear, pour or squeeze a large circle of batter (about 3-4 inches in diameter) for the head. Immediately add two smaller circles above the head for the ears and one small circle below the head for the snout. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
