FAQs
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the batter and store it in the fridge for a few hours. Just give it a stir before cooking.
What if I don’t have food coloring?
You can use natural colors like beet juice for red or turmeric for yellow, but the colors may be less vibrant.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead?
Absolutely! Just keep in mind that the pancakes will be denser, but they will still taste great! Enjoy making your Rainbow Pancakes! 🌈🥞
