Rainbow Pancakes

Experiment with food dye and work on your pancake making technique by creating beautiful stacks of rainbow coloured pancakes.


Ingredients

1 ½ cups of Devondale Full Cream Fresh Milk
2 cups self-raising flour
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
Canola spray oil
Red, yellow, green and blue food colouring
Maple syrup, to serve


Directions

  1. Whisk the Devondale Full Cream Milk, egg and vanilla together in mixing bowl. Sift flour into the bowl and whisk mixture until all the ingredients have blended in.
  2. Divide the batter into 4 bowls. Use the food colouring to dye them different colours. We used blue, red, yellow and green, but you can use whatever combination you want. You can even use half and half on some pancakes or blend two colours (for example blue and red makes purple). Be careful though, if you add too many colours you’ll just end up with brown!
  3. Ask an adult for help with this part. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and spray with canola oil. Using a ¼ cup mixture per pancake, cook 2 pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles appear on surface. Turn and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate, cover loosely with foil to keep them warm. If they don’t work out perfectly at first or if you burn one don’t worry - practice makes perfect. Repeat with remaining mixture, respraying with oil between batches to make sure they don’t stick to the pan which will make them burn.
  4. Stack one of each colour pancake on top of each other, creating 4 rainbow stacks each with one of each colour pancake. Each stack is 1 serve. Serve straight away with maple syrup. Dazzle friends and family with your beautiful creation!
