1

Prepare the pancake batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg, then pour in 1 ¼ cups of milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can result in tough pancakes.

2

Divide and color the batter

Divide the pancake batter evenly into separate bowls, depending on the number of colors you want to use. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and stir well to incorporate the color. Feel free to get creative with vibrant colors like pink, blue, and purple to capture the magical essence of unicorns!

3

Heat the griddle or pan

Preheat a griddle or a pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the cooking surface with butter or cooking spray to prevent the pancakes from sticking.

4

Create the unicorn design

Using a ladle or a large spoon, pour one color of batter onto the hot griddle, creating a circular shape. Allow the pancake to cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface, then carefully flip it using a spatula. Cook for another minute or until golden brown. Repeat this step for each color of batter, layering the different colors on top of each other to create a rainbow effect.

5

Add the finishing touches

Once all the pancakes are cooked, it's time to add some unicorn magic! Use whipped cream or frosting to create clouds and stars on top of the pancakes. Sprinkle colored sprinkles or edible glitter to make them sparkle. Don't forget to serve with a side of maple syrup!
