Funfetti rainbow pancakes
Makes 24
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 3 medium eggs
- 250ml semi-skimmed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 200g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 15g caster sugar
- 5ml each red, green, blue and yellow food colouring
- 20g sprinkles
- Sunflower oil
For the sauce:
- 125g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 125ml evaporated milk
- Extra sprinkles
Method
- To make the batter, mix the eggs, milk and vanilla essence together in a bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and sugar. Make a well in the middle of the flour, add the milk mixture gradually, mixing into the flour until you have a smooth batter.
- Divide the mixture into four and colour each one with a different food colour. Add 5g of sprinkles to each and mix.
- Grease a non-stick frying pan with some oil and put a teaspoon full of each coloured batter in and swirl to make a round pancake. Cook for a minute or so until set, then flip and cook the other side. Do this with the remaining pancakes until all the batter has been used up – keep the cooked ones warm while you make the sauce.
- Sieve the icing sugar and add the evaporated milk and vanilla essence and whisk until you have a smooth sauce.
- Serve the pancakes stacked and drizzled with the sauce and sprinkled with extra sprinkles.
