In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Divide the batter evenly into 6 small bowls. Add a few drops of a different food coloring to each bowl and stir gently to achieve vibrant hues.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. For each pancake, dollop small spoonfuls of each colored batter, alternating colors, onto the hot griddle to form a rainbow pattern.
