- Easy
- Serves 4
Ingredients
- 200g self raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp golden caster sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 200ml milk
- 3 eggs
- 25g butter, melted, plus extra for frying
- red, yellow, green and blue gel food colouring
To serve (optional)
- punnet raspberries
- punnet blueberries
- whipped cream or ice cream
- maple syrup
Method
- STEP 1
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.
- STEP 2
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.
- STEP 3
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.
