Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Lay the foundation for your rainbow adventure.

Whisk the Wet Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and then add in the buttermilk. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract. Whisk until the wet ingredients are well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Let your little chefs admire the pancake canvas they’re about to create.

Divide and Color:

Divide the pancake batter into separate bowls. Add a few drops of different food coloring to each bowl, creating vibrant red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple batters.

Cook the Rainbow:

Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Using separate ladles, pour and spread each colored batter onto the griddle, creating a rainbow pattern. Allow each color to cook before adding the next.

Stack and Top:

Once all the colors are cooked, stack the rainbow pancakes in order. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, colorful sprinkles, and fresh fruit to complete the festive look.

Serve and Enjoy the Rainbow:

Present the Rainbow Pancakes to your little ones, and watch their eyes light up with joy. Encourage creativity by letting them add their favorite toppings. Enjoy a breakfast that’s not only delicious but also a work of art!
