Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 ¼ cups milk any
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 drops Red food coloring
Pancake drizzle:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 teaspoons milk
Instructions
Make the batter:
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Make a well in the middle and pour in the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. Use a fork to break up the egg in the middle of the bowl and then slowly mix it with the milk and other ingredients, always mixing from the outside of the bowl in until all clumps are gone.
- Add the food coloring and with a spatula, gently fold in the batter until it reaches the desired shade of pink. For a darker pink, add additional food coloring.
Cup of Yum
Cook:
- Heat a non-stick griddle or large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grease it and immediately pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
- Cook for 2 minutes and wait until bubbles form to flip. Continue cooking for an additional minute or two to cook through. Remove from the pan or griddle and keep warm while you cook the rest of the batter.
To make the drizzle:
- In a medium bowl, mix the powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle over the pancakes.
