Colored Pancakes? Most definitely!!

So I like to try new things when I am babysitting because it makes things a little bit exciting. The girls wanted pancakes for breakfast and when I saw food coloring on the table I knew what I was going to try. Now, W was a little apprehensive at first but once we got started and she found out they tasted the same as regular pancakes she was game!

Now, these are not the best pictures because they were taken on my phone. But I made it into a lesson for W (she is 4) about which colors make new colors. So we made purple, orange and green. We already had blue food coloring so that one required no mixing. :)


We made the purple ones first. Make sure you turn them before they brown because then some of the color will go away.


I even made some polkadots on the orange ones, but that was probably too much food coloring in one area.

The girls loved them! There were lots left over to put in the freezer so they can have them tomorrow :)
