Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1¾ cups milk
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- Neon green gel food coloring
- Optional toppings: whipped cream or Cool Whip, jumbo heart sprinkles
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Melt the butter in the microwave in 30-second increments, then give it a minute to cool.
- Make a well in the flour mixture and add the egg. Give it a whisk without mixing it into the flour.
- Add the milk, melted butter, vanilla, and a generous amount of green gel food coloring, about 2 tsp. Whisk just a bit, then fold the batter together with a spatula. A few lumps are fine.
- Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray with nonstick spray.
- Add about ¼ cup of batter per pancake. (A large skillet fits about 3 at a time; a griddle will make more at once.)
- Cook 2–3 minutes, until the sides start to look fluffy and the top is bubbly. Flip.
- Cook 2–3 minutes more on the other side.
- Repeat until all the pancakes are made.
- Stack the pancakes and add your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring rather than liquid. Gel gives a vibrant color without thinning the batter.
