rainbow pancakes

Late night browsing through Pinterest I came across a picture of a stack of rainbow pancakes

and they were just so pretty that it inspired me to bake up my very own batch of colorful

pancakes, the next morning. No special occasion or anything just for my very own enjoyment

but kids would definitely go crazy over these, aren't they cute?

I made a batch of my favorite basic pancake recipe, (you will never buy boxed pancake mix

 again!) divided the pancake mix into six and added a tiny bit of food coloring to make all six 

colors of the rainbow. One batch of this recipe makes 12 thin pancakes; 2 red, 2 orange, 

2 yellow, 2 green, 2 blue and 2 purple. If you don't care for these pretty, colored pancakes

skip the food coloring and make a regular batch, way better than the stuff from the box!
