# What You'll Need:
→ Pancake Batter
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 3/4 cups milk
08 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Coloring
10 - Gel or liquid food coloring, assorted
→ Decorations & Toppings
11 - 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
12 - 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
13 - Assorted sprinkles
14 - Mini chocolate chips
15 - Sliced strawberries
16 - Blueberries
17 - Shredded coconut
18 - Mini marshmallows
# Directions:
01 - Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the milk, melted cooled butter and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; a few small lumps are fine—do not overmix.
04 - Divide the batter evenly into 3–5 small bowls, add several drops of different food coloring to each portion and stir until the color is uniform.
05 - Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a little butter or neutral oil to prevent sticking.
06 - Pour about 1/4 cup of colored batter onto the skillet and gently shape into an oval using the back of a spoon to form an egg shape; cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear and edges set, flip and cook 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through; repeat with remaining batter, wiping the pan if colors transfer.
07 - Whisk the powdered sugar with 2–3 tablespoons milk until smooth and pourable; adjust milk by teaspoonfuls to reach desired consistency.
08 - Allow pancakes to cool slightly, then drizzle glaze and arrange sprinkles, fruit, chocolate chips, coconut or marshmallows to create decorated 'eggs'; serve immediately with maple syrup or whipped cream if desired.
