Notes

  • Food Dye - You do not have to include the food dye if you don't want the additional chemicals in your recipe (although fun to look at).
  • Store Bought Pancake Mix - You can alter this recipe and use store-bought pancake mix instead of making the pancakes from scratch.
  • Store Leftovers - If you have leftover pancakes you can store them in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. OR place in a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months in the freezer.
