Ingredients

For the pancakes:

• 200g Self Raising Flour
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 15g Caster Sugar
• 250ml Semi Skimmed Milk
• 3 Medium Eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
• 5ml each Red, Green, Blue and Yellow Food Colouring
• 20g Sprinkles
• Sunflower Oil

For the sauce:

• 125g Icing Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
• 125ml Evaporated Milk
• Extra Sprinkles

  

Method

1. To make the batter, mix the eggs, milk, and vanilla essence together in a bowl.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and sugar. Make a well in the middle of the flour, add the milk mixture gradually, mixing into the flour until you have a smooth batter. Divide the mixture into 4 and colour each one with a different food colour. Add 5g of sprinkles to each and mix.
3. Grease a non-stick frying pan with some oil and put a teaspoon full of each coloured batter in and swirl to make a round pancake. Cook for a minute or so until set, then flip and cook the other side. Do this with the remaining pancakes until all the batter has been used up – keep the cooked ones warm while you make the sauce.
4. Sieve the icing sugar and add the evaporated milk and vanilla essence and whisk until you have a smooth sauce.
5. Serve the pancakes stacked and drizzled with the sauce and sprinkled with extra sprinkles.
