CHRISTMAS PANCAKES
This is a festive twist on pancakes with a warm cinnamon flavor, fluffy texture, and a touch of sweetness from whipped cream. The vibrant red and green colors make them as fun to eat as they are delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups All-purpose flour
- 4 tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp teaspoon Salt
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ cup Sugar
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 2 Eggs
- 5 Tbsp Melted butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 drops Food colorings 2 drops of each
- Whipped cream and sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined—your batter should remain a bit lumpy for fluffy pancakes.
- Separate the pancake batter into 4 small bowls. Add 2-3 drops of food coloring (red and green) to each bowl and stir until the color is evenly distributed. Add more food coloring if you want a more vibrant hue.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter. Once the butter has melted, pour about ¾ cup of pancake batter onto the skillet.
- When bubbles start forming on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes in a colorful stack, topped with whipped cream and festive sprinkles for the ultimate Christmas morning treat.
