Rainbow Pancakes Recipes

RAINBOW PANCAKES

Steps:

• Put all the pancake ingredients, except the dye, in a bowl and mix well with a whisk until smooth. Divide the batter into 5 bowls or disposable cups. Use the food colouring to dye 4 of them a different colour, leaving one plain.
• Melt a small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat. Once foaming put spoonfuls of the pancake batter into the pan and shape into 4-5cm circles with the back of your spoon, you should have enough to make 4 pancakes from each coloured batter. Cook for 2-3 mins then flip over and cook the other side for another minute or until cooked through and ever so slightly golden.
• Stack the pancakes so that everyone gets one of each colour. Serve with fresh fruit, cream or ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup if you like.

RAINBOW PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together master mix, milk eggs and vanilla until combined. Divide batter among 6 small mixing bowls.
• Stir in food dye to each bowl, starting with a couple drops until a vibrant color is achieved. Repeat until you have red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
• Heat a nonstick frying pan or griddle over medium-low heat. The pan is ready when a sprinkle of water lightly sizzles on the pan.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Cook for about 45-60 seconds or until the bubbles begin to pop. Flip and cook for an additional 45-60 seconds. Remove from pan and repeat until all the colors have been used.
• Pancakes can be kept warm in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.
• Stack the pancakes in the color order of a rainbow and serve with whipped cream clouds.

RAINBOW SILVER DOLLAR PANCAKES

Steps:

• For the pancakes: Sift the flour and sugar together. Add the milk, vanilla and eggs and mix until smooth. Divide the batter into smaller bowls. For each bowl, you will need about 1 teaspoon of flavor extract and 4 to 5 drops of gel food coloring. I recommend using food coloring gel which is brighter (regular food coloring will also work; you will just need to use a bit more). You can match it to the desired flavor; for instance, yellow for banana, red for raspberry, etc. Once you have flavored and colored your batter, it is time to cook the pancakes! Heat a nonstick frying pan or griddle, melt some butter and pour the batter to create pancake rounds. For silver dollar pancakes, use about 1 tablespoon per pancake (adjust for desired size). Repeat with ingredients.
• For the syrup: In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, rum, cinnamon and vanilla. Heat until it comes to a boil, and then remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Serve the pancakes warm with the syrup and extra butter if desired.
