Rainbow Pancakes
Brighten up your Saturday or Sunday morning with these mini rainbow pancakes! Kids will most certainly make them disappear faster than you can make them. They also make a festive brunch option for a birthday, St. Patrick's Day, and Pride.See the recipe notes below.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Small mixing bowls (6)
- Spatula
- Liquid measuring cup
- Squeeze bottles
- Griddle
- Spatula
Ingredients
- Pancake mix (plus ingredients)
- ROYGBP food coloring gel
Instructions
- First, prepare the pancake batter according to the box (or recipe) instructions.
- Next, distribute the batter across 6 mid-size mixing bowls.**
- Set the griddle to the heat slightly above the 'keep warm' setting.
- Next, transfer red batter into a liquid measuring cup, and then into a squeeze bottle. (Note: it's easiest to fill the squeeze bottle using a liquid measuring cup because it has a spout.)
- Then, hold the squeeze bottle at a 90-degree angel over the griddle and apply a light pressure to release the batter.
- Create a 2-inch circle with the batter.
- Repeat with remaining red batter, or until you use up all the space on your griddle.
- Flip the mini pancakes once you see air bubbles across the majority of the mini pancake (as pictured above).
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove pancakes from heat and finish cooking remaining rainbow pancakes.
Notes
*This is an estimate. Servings depend on if you are serving other food with the mini pancakes (such as bacon, eggs, etc.).
**Note: if you are planning to arrange your pancakes in the shape of a rainbow, you'll want to distribute the most batter for red and the least amount of batter for purple.
