Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (red, blue, green, yellow, purple)
- Whipped cream (for serving)
- Rainbow sprinkles (for serving)
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined (don’t worry about a few lumps – that’s totally fine!).
- Color Your Batter: Divide the batter evenly into 5 small bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl, creating different colors: red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. Mix each bowl until the color is well incorporated.
- Heat the Griddle: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
- Cook the Pancakes: Start with the first color, pouring a small amount (about 1/4 cup) of batter onto the skillet. Then, using a spoon or squeeze bottle, layer on the other colors in a swirling or rainbow pattern. Allow the pancake to cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Stack ‘Em Up: Repeat this process with the remaining colors, creating a beautiful stack of rainbow pancakes.
- Serve with Flair: Top your stack with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles for that extra pop of color!
- Enjoy: Dive into your magical breakfast adventure and enjoy the smiles with each colorful bite!
