👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Pancake Batter:

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
• Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed (don’t overmix).
• Divide batter into 4–5 small bowls and tint each with a different food coloring.

2. Cook the Pancakes:

• Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
• Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
• Cook until bubbles form on top and the edges are set (about 1–2 min), then flip and cook the other side.
• Stack in color order for a rainbow effect (ex: purple on bottom, pink on top).

3. Decorate:

• Pipe or spoon whipped cream or frosting over the top pancake.
• Add sprinkles, glitter, and unicorn-themed decorations.

✅ Tips:

• Use gel food coloring for bold color without thinning the batter.
• Want natural color? Try:
  • Pink: beet powder
  • Purple: blueberry or ube powder
  • Yellow: turmeric or golden milk mix
  • Green: spinach or matcha
• Let kids decorate their own stacks for interactive fun!
