# Needed ingredients:

→ 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

# How to make it:

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. 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.
06 - For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth and pourable.
07 - Once cooled slightly, decorate pancakes with glaze, sprinkles, fruit, chocolate chips, coconut, marshmallows, and any creative patterns you like.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You can turn breakfast into a hands-on creative party for everyone at the table.
  • Even the most reluctant eaters will be tempted by the cheerful colors and endless decorating possibilities.
02 -
  • Don't rush to flip—if you do, you'll be scraping stuck batter instead of showing off perfect egg shapes.
  • Making the glaze too thin means it’ll run right off, taking all your sprinkles with it.
03 -
  • A squeeze of lemon juice in the glaze sharpens the sweetness and adds a little tang.
  • Letting the batter rest for five minutes before coloring ensures ultra-fluffy results every time.
