Ingredients
For the Pancake Batter:
- 3 cups spelt flour or whole wheat pastry flour
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 3 1/4 cups almond milk or cow's milk
- 1/4 cup melted ghee or coconut oil for a vegan option
- Natural food colorings: beetroot powder pink, turmeric powder (yellow), spirulina powder (green and turquoise), and berry powders (red, blue, orange)
Instructions
Prepare the Base Pancake Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Create Colored Batters:
- Divide the batter among several bowls. Mix in natural food colorings to create different colored batters (pink, orange, blue, turquoise, yellow, red, and green).
- Pour each colored batter into separate squeeze bottles.
Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- For regular-sized pancakes, use the squeeze bottles to make splashes and dots of different colors on the skillet. Then, cover these with a layer of plain batter to form a full pancake.
- Flip the pancake once bubbles appear and the edges look set, cooking until both sides are golden brown.
- For tiny dot pancakes, squeeze small amounts of the colored batters onto the skillet, cooking them briefly on each side.
Make the Pancake Dipping Sauce:
- Brown the Ghee:
- In a small saucepan, melt the ghee over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until it takes on a light golden brown color and emits a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.
- Create the Sauce Base:
- Reduce the heat to low and carefully add the condensed milk to the browned ghee. The mixture may sizzle initially, so pour slowly and stir continuously.
- Add Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- Stir in the maple syrup or honey and a pinch of salt. Add the vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
- Continue to cook on low heat, whisking constantly, until all ingredients are well incorporated and the sauce has slightly thickened to a pourable consistency.
- Cool the Sauce:
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. It should be warm and smooth for serving.
Serve:
- Plate the colorful pancakes, scattering the tiny dot pancakes around for visual effect.
- Serve with the warm pancake dipping sauce on the side for a delightful taste experience.
