Ingredients
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s gather all the ingredients you’ll need:
For the Pancakes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Orange food coloring
For the Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
- Blueberries
- Maple syrup
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Divide the batter into two equal portions.
Step 2: Create the Sunrise Effect
Add a few drops of orange food coloring to one portion of the pancake batter and mix well until the desired hue is achieved. Leave the other portion as is for the regular pancakes.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter. Pour a ladleful of the regular pancake batter onto the skillet, followed by a smaller ladleful of the orange batter in the center. Let the pancakes cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip them and cook for another minute or until golden brown. Repeat this process until all the batter is used.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
Stack the sunrise pancakes on a plate, alternating between regular and orange pancakes to create a beautiful sunrise effect. Top the stack with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberries and blueberries. Finally, drizzle maple syrup over the entire stack.
Conclusion
There you have it – a delightful brunch recipe that will not only fill your stomach but also brighten your day with its stunning sunrise-inspired presentation. So, gather the ingredients, follow the instructions, and treat yourself to this mouthwatering sunrise delight. Enjoy!
