Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- 4
Divide the batter evenly into four separate small bowls. Add a drop or two of red food coloring to one bowl, yellow to another, green to a third, and blue to the fourth. Stir each color gently until uniform.
- 5
Heat a lightly buttered griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, spoon about 1/4 cup of each color batter onto the griddle, forming small, separate pancakes. You can also layer the colors into a single pancake for a swirled effect.
- 6
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- 7
Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) while you finish the rest.

Serve immediately with a generous drizzle of maple syrup, and a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkles if desired.
