Rainbow Pancakes

 
I came up with this idea while laying in bed thinking about a fun St. Patrick's Day breakfast.  My kids were overly excited about these!
 
 
Buttermilk Pancakes
 
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 TBS sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 TBS cooking oil
 
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt.  In a separate bowl combine egg, buttermilk, and oil.  Ad egg mixture all at once to flour mixture.  Stir until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Can add more buttermilk if it needs thinned.  Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto lightly greased griddle. Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes on each side, turning to second side when pancakes have bubbly surface and edges are slightly dry.  Serve warm with butter or peanut butter and syrup.
 
For the Rainbow pancakes, I divided the batter in two separate pouring bowls.  I added a few drops of orange food coloring (Durant's favorite color) to one and blue (Shandon's favorite color) to the other.  I then poured one color in a rainbow shape and then the second right on top.  I added butterscotch chips and chocolate chips at the bottom of the rainbow (pot of gold).
