Servings: 12 pancakes
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons salted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- food coloring: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
- cooking spray
- toppings for serving such as syrup, powdered sugar, fruit, whipped topping, etc ...
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine milk with vinegar. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Place the egg, butter, and vanilla into a large mixing bowl and whisk in the milk mixture.
- Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until the lumps are gone.
- Divide the pancake mixture between six smaller bowls. Color each bowl a different shade of food coloring. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Spray the skillet lightly with cooking spray. Starting with the first color, add half of the batter to the skillet or griddle.
- Cook until bubbles start to form and burst in the center of the pancake, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and allow it to cook an additional 1-2 minutes until cooked through and set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, then move on to the next colors.
- Serve immediately with toppings of choice.
Notes
- Easily double the recipe if you need to make more.
- This recipe makes 12 regular size pancakes. When making this for my family, sometimes I will make smaller silver dollar-sized pancakes.
- This is a great base recipe. You can use whatever colors you want to fit your theme.
- I use gel food coloring. They are much more vibrant, and a little goes a long way.
- Leftovers kept in the fridge will last for up to 5 days. Or, freeze for up to 3 months.
