Instructions
 

  • Get a large bowl and prepare your white batter: Add milk, melted butter, and egg to a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
  • Add your dry ingredients: sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, spices, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Gently fold in the juicy blueberries. Set aside to let the pancake batter rest for 3 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, prepare the purple batter by getting your wet ingredients: Add milk, melted butter, and egg to a second large mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
  • Add sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, spices, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Mix in the food coloring. If it is not the color you desire, add 1 to 2 additional drops until you achieve your desired color.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Add one tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted and hot, ladle approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake and cook for 3 minutes on the first side or until the edges look slightly dry and bubbles begin to form in the middle. Flip and cook for another 1 – 2 minutes on the second side.
  • Place the cooked pancake on a platter and keep it warm. Add additional butter if necessary. Repeat this process until all the batter has been used.
  • To serve, stack 3-4 pancakes per serving. Top with butter, drizzled honey, maple syrup, or additional berries, if desired. Enjoy!
