Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted and room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon green food coloring (or more for vibrant color)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pancake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, and egg together.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—do not overmix.
- Add the Green Color:
- Add the green food coloring to the batter and stir until the desired color is achieved. For a more vibrant green, add a little more food coloring.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, maple syrup, or sprinkles for extra festive flair!
Notes
- You can add mini chocolate chips or berries to the batter for extra fun.
- If you want extra fluffiness, you can use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
- For a Grinch-inspired breakfast, top your pancakes with a red fruit or whipped cream heart to represent the Grinch’s heart growing three sizes!
