The Rainbow Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream
- Food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Pancake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Create the Rainbow Colors:
- Divide the pancake batter into six equal parts, placing each portion into separate bowls.
- Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl to create the rainbow colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Mix until the colors are vibrant and well-distributed.
Heat the Griddle or Pan:
- Preheat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
Cook the Pancakes:
- Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Create the Unicorn with Whipped Cream Magic:
- Whip up some clouds of whipped cream to shape your unicorn with generous dollops on top of each pancake stack. You can use marshmallows for the horn and don’t forget to add frosting eyes. Top with sprinkles and fresh blueberries. This adds a delightful unicorn design and a touch of magic to your Rainbow Pancakes.
OR Skip the Unicorn Garnish and Enjoy:
- Skip the whipped cream unicorn and enjoy your rainbow stack! Garnish with sprinkles, edible glitter, or additional cream for an extra dash of fun and color. Serve your Rainbow Pancakes warm and watch the delight on everyone’s faces!
