Description

Delight in these fluffy and fun Pink Pancakes, perfect for a cheerful breakfast or brunch. Made with a simple blend of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a splash of red or pink food coloring, these pancakes are soft, tender, and visually striking. They’re cooked on a griddle or skillet until golden-brown and served warm with classic maple syrup and whipped cream for a sweet finish.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup canola oil (plus extra for cooking)
  • Pink or red food coloring (to desired shade)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a larger mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, egg, and ¼ cup canola oil until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, whisking until the batter is smooth without lumps.
  4. Add color: Stir in pink or red food coloring a little at a time until you reach your desired shade of pink for the batter.
  5. Preheat griddle or skillet: Lightly drizzle canola oil over the surface of a large griddle or skillet and heat it over medium heat until warm.
  6. Cook pancakes: Pour ¼ cup-sized portions of batter onto the preheated surface. Cook for about 2 minutes or until small bubbles form and start to pop on the surface.
  7. Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes or until the pancakes are lightly browned on both sides and firm in the center.
  8. Serve: Plate the warm pink pancakes and serve with maple syrup and whipped cream for a delightful breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of food coloring gradually to control the intensity of the pink hue.
  • Make sure the griddle or skillet is properly preheated to prevent pancakes from sticking.
  • Canola oil works well for cooking due to its neutral flavor and high smoke point.
  • These pancakes can be doubled or halved based on your serving needs.
  • For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter once wet and dry ingredients are combined.
