1

Prepare the Pancake Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs and then add 1 1/4 cups of buttermilk, 1/2 cup of milk, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Colorful Scales Time

Divide the pancake batter into separate bowls, depending on how many colors you want to use. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix well, creating your desired mermaid scale colors. Transfer each colored batter to individual squeeze bottles for easier control when creating the scales.

3

Sizzle the Scales

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. Squeeze small circles of the colored batter onto the pan to create the scales. Make sure to leave enough space between each circle. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, then carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or until golden brown. Repeat this process until you've used all the batter and have a stack of beautiful mermaid scale pancakes.

4

Serve and Enjoy

Stack the mermaid scale pancakes on a plate and serve them with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of edible glitter, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Take a moment to appreciate the magical colors and indulge in the deliciousness of your mermaid breakfast creation.
