# Components:

→ Pancake Batter

01 - 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tbsp granulated sugar
03 - 2 tsp baking powder
04 - 1/2 tsp baking soda
05 - 1/2 tsp salt
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 3/4 cups (420 ml) milk
08 - 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
09 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

→ Coloring

10 - Gel or liquid food coloring (various colors: pink, blue, yellow, green, purple)

→ Decorations & Toppings

11 - 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
12 - 2-3 tbsp milk (for glaze)
13 - Assorted sprinkles
14 - Mini chocolate chips
15 - Sliced strawberries
16 - Blueberries
17 - Shredded coconut
18 - Mini marshmallows

# Directions:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (a few lumps are fine).
04 - Divide the batter evenly into 3–5 small bowls. Add a few drops of different food coloring to each bowl and mix until you reach your desired colors.
05 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
06 - Pour about 1/4 cup of colored batter onto the skillet and gently spread into an oval or egg shape with a spoon. Cook 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden. Repeat with remaining batter, cleaning the pan as needed between colors.
07 - For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth and pourable.
08 - Once cooled slightly, decorate pancakes with glaze, sprinkles, fruit, chocolate chips, coconut, marshmallows, and any creative patterns you like.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get to play with your food and no one will stop you if you want a blue pancake with pink polka dots.
  • It brings everyone together around the stove for laughter and a surprising amount of friendly competition.
02 -
  • If you crowd the pan or forget to wipe it between colors, your eggs will turn a murky shade—go slow and clean for best results.
  • Piping dots or stripes directly onto cooking batter creates sharp, playful designs that look just like dyed Easter eggs.
03 -
  • Sifting the dry ingredients and letting the batter rest make for pancakes that are extra light and tender.
  • Keep wet and dry ingredients just barely combined—overmixing leads to tough, flat eggs.
