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)

Browned Butter Condensed Milk Sauce

  • 1/2 cup ghee clarified butter, used in place of traditional butter for a sattvic recipe
  • 1 cup unsweetened condensed milk
  • 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey adjust according to desired sweetness
  • A pinch of Himalayan pink salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Base Pancake Batter:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix in the almond or cow's milk, melted ghee, and maple syrup or honey until the batter is smooth.

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.
