Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk (whole, 2%, or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Food coloring gel (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
  • 6-inch wooden skewers or lollipop sticks
  • Maple syrup (for dipping)
  • Optional: whipped cream, fresh berries, or sprinkles

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  3. Divide the batter evenly into six small bowls. Add food coloring gel to each bowl to create red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple batters. Stir until colors are uniform.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease. Using a tablespoon, pour small rounds of batter (about 2 inches wide) onto the hot surface. Cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden. Repeat for all colors, making about 6 mini pancakes per color.
  5. Let pancakes cool for 5 minutes. Thread one of each color onto a skewer or lollipop stick, stacking gently. Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.

Notes

For best color, use gel food coloring. To make gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, use oat or almond milk and coconut oil. Pancakes can be made ahead and reheated. Let pancakes cool before threading to prevent tearing. Serve with your favorite toppings for extra fun.
