Print Recipe

These mini pancakes are fluffy, fun-sized clouds of joy with bright rainbow colors, perfect for a colorful and playful breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk, whole or 2% recommended (use dairy-free milk if preferred)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Gel food coloring: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple (AmeriColor or Wilton recommended)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; small lumps are okay.
  4. Divide batter evenly into 6 small bowls and add a few drops of gel food coloring to each; stir gently.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small pat of butter to coat the surface.
  6. Using a tablespoon or small ladle, drop spoonfuls of different colored batters side by side on the skillet to form rings or swirls.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then carefully flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and puffed.
  8. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter as needed to prevent sticking.
  9. Serve warm with optional toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.

Notes

Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without thinning the batter. Melted butter helps pancakes brown nicely without losing fluffiness. Cook on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure centers cook through. Use a thin spatula to flip carefully. Batter should not be overmixed to keep pancakes fluffy.
