Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple food coloring
- whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the pancake batter evenly into six separate bowls.
- Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl to create the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Stir each bowl until the color is evenly distributed.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the red pancake batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining colors of the rainbow batter, cooking one color at a time.
- Stack the cooked pancakes in rainbow order (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red) on a serving plate.
- Top the stack of pancakes with whipped cream before serving.

Notes
- - Batter Consistency: The batter should be slightly thick but pourable. If it's too thick, add a little more milk; if too thin, add a bit more flour.
- - Food Coloring: Use gel food coloring for more vibrant colors without thinning the batter. Start with a few drops and add more as needed to reach your desired shade. Liquid food coloring can also be used, but you might need more to achieve the same intensity.
