Ingredients
- 2 1/2 Cups flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tbsp baking powder
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 2 1/4 Cups milk
- 3/4 Cup oil
- 2 eggs beaten
For the Decoration
- colored sprinkles
- fresh blueberries rinsed and drained
- Sugar Cones
- Purple Icing
For the Stabilized Whipped Cream
- 3 Tbsp cream cheese softened
- 16 oz heavy cream

Instructions
- In a large bowl, break the eggs, and beat them with a whisk until they’re light lemon yellow, and fluffy.
- Add the milk, and stir.
- Add the oil, salt, and sugar, and whisk together.
- Add the flour and baking powder, and whisk together just until ingredients are mixed. (Batter may be a little lumpy, but that’s okay)
- Divide batter equally, and place 4 or 5 drops of blue food coloring in one bowl, and 4 or 5 drops of pink food coloring in the other bowl.
- Heat an electric griddle until butter melts and sizzles.
- With the heat on a medium setting, drop the batter for the pink pancakes with a ladle, and cook until golden brown.
- Drop the batter for the blue pancakes with a small ladle, or small measuring cup.
- The pink pancakes should be bigger than the blue pancakes.
- Flip the pancakes with a pancake turner, and remove to a plate to serve, starting with the pink pancake first, and the blue pancake on top.
- Continue this step, until all pancakes have been cooked.
