How to Make Unicorn Pancakes
These are so beautiful, homemade, and ready to be yours for the eating as soon as you whip up a batch. Let’s get your ingredients readyyyy!!
Don’t be afraid to get the kids involved making these magical unicorn pancakes, by the way. They aren’t that hard to do. Put those dry ingredients into a bowl, with your wet ingredients standing by.
Mix all the ingredients together, and then divide the unicorn pancake batter evenly into two smaller bowls. Then, grab your unicorn colors, and dye those bowls pink and purple!
The reason for the gel food coloring is because of the more vibrant colors of the pancake batter, like this!
Then, make those pancakes on the griddle, stack ’em alternating on your plate, and get ready for the awesome! My personal choice on pancakes usually is butter on every pancake, then syrup. THEN WHIPPED CREAM!!!
You can use canned whipped cream, but there’s something super special and luscious about whipped cream in a piping bag. Something so celebratory, don’t you think?
But here? We made ’em even more special with homemade glaze drizzled on top. YES! Loads of oozing fresh vanilla glaze.
