Shamrock Pancakes (HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!!!)

Here is a quick, easy way to be festive.

 

Just whip up some pancake batter, add a few drops of green food coloring. I use the gel/paste kind because it requires a lot less and makes more vivid colors. You can get those at the cake decorating section at most stores. I actually mixed blue and yellow for these pancakes. I only added a tiny, tiny bit to the batter and mixed it in well. Using an 1/8 C. make four leaf clovers. Don’t cook to long, or they will look brown instead of green.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Apple Pancakes

Here comes yet another pancake recipe!  I love pancakes and they just keep coming… hot off the griddle, as my mom would say.  I liked the apple in these.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded tart apple
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (I used whole wheat.)
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon white sugar

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine butter, egg, milk and apple. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sugar. Stir flour mixture into apple mixture, just until combined.
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
