Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg large
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Red food coloring
- Blue food coloring
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
- Divide the batter into three equal portions. Leave one portion plain, add a few drops of red food coloring to one portion, and blue food coloring to the other portion. Mix until the colors are well incorporated.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup and enjoy!
