Ugly Pancake

My 2 boys ha always like pancakes but me and hubby is not a fan for it. Wanted to do Dorayaki but in the end did pancakes.

Pancakes filling is always either strawberry or banana, boring. Since I intend to do something to fill my boys tummy fully, I thought of adding cheesy hotdogs and cabbage to the pancakes.

But I am never good in cooking pancakes, they always turn out ugly. Can anyone please teach me?
