Rainbow Pancakes

INGREDIENTS:

Pancake mix (or to make your own, read How to Make Pancakes first)
Non-stick cooking spray
Red, Orange, Purple, Blue, Yellow and Green food coloring (extra colors can be created by mixing pigments)
Whipped creme topping (optional)
Your choice of berries (optional)

PROCEDURE:

Prepare the pancake batter by following the directions on the box

Divide the pancake batter (depending on how many you wish to make) into 6 small bowls.

Make the coloured batter.
Red: In bowl 1, drop in 4 drops of red food colouring and mix well.
Yellow: In bowl 2, drop in 3 drops of yellow food colouring and mix well.
Orange: In bowl 3, drop in 5 drops of red and 5 drops of yellow food colouring and mix well.
Green: In bowl 4, drop in 4 drops of green food colouring and mix well.
Blue: In bowl 5, drop in 4 drops of blue food colouring and mix well.
Purple: In bowl 6, drop in 5 drops of blue and 5 drops of red food colouring and mix well.

Preheat a griddle on medium-low heat.

Spray cooking spray on the pan to prevent the pancakes from sticking. Keeping the heat medium-low prevents the pancakes from cooking too fast and keeps them from turning brown. Remember, you want rainbow pancakes, not brown!

Pour a cup full of batter into the griddle or frying pan and cook until ready to flip. You should see lots of bubbles on the top and be able to handle the bottom of the pancake without batter flowing everywhere into the pan. That is how you know when to flip.

Cook on the other side for about 1 minute and place on a plate.

Continue with the other colour batters until you have all of the pancakes cooked.

Stack your pancakes however you like. Serve and enjoy!
