Unicorn inspired pancakes
Get the kids involved on Pancake Day with this unicorn inspired stack of pancakes.
"Get the kids involved with breakfast time this half-term with these unicorn themed pancakes. They will love getting involved with mixing up the different food colouring and decorating the final stack."
Here's what you'll need
Batter:
- 135 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 130ml milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter (allowed to cool slightly)
- Food colouring (green, yellow, purple, blue, pink)
For decorations:
- Dairy spray cream
- Candyfloss
- Sprinkles
Here's how its done
Step 1
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar into a large bowl. Whisk them together so everything’s evenly combined.
Step 2
In a separate jug or bowl, beat the egg with the milk, then whisk in the melted butter. Pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients and stir gently until you have a smooth batter—don’t overmix.
Step 3
Spoon the batter into five small bowls. Add a drop or two of each food colour (green, yellow, purple, blue, pink) to one bowl each. Stir until you’ve got five vibrant pastel batters.
Step 4
Warm a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little melted butter or oil for the first pancake only, then you shouldn’t need more greasing as you go.
Step 5
Pour about 2 tbsp of one coloured batter into the pan to make a small, 8 cm pancake. Cook for about 1–2 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook another 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat with each colour, stacking them as you go.
Step 6
Spray a generous spiral of dairy cream on top of your pancake stack. Pile on fluffy candyfloss “mane” around the cream, then shower everything with rainbow sprinkles.
Step 7
Your unicorn pancakes are best enjoyed straight away—dig in and let the magic and colours whisk you off on a fantastical breakfast adventure!
