Pancakes + Fireworks

We'll be on vacation during fourth of July, staying at a cabin on the Russian River.  Boy howdy am I excited! I have a little surprise in store for the boys for the morning of Independence Day...red, white, and blue pancakes. A little food coloring goes a long way, just add a few drops of red and blue to a half a cup of batter. Scroll down for my favorite (dairy-free)recipe!

Fluffy Pancakes

(makes 10-12)

1 cup flour

2 tbsp sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 cup coconut milk (or milk)

2 tbsp Earth Balance (or butter)

1 egg

1 tbsp vegetable oil

Combine dry ingredients in one bowl, wet in the other.  Mix together and separate out 1 cup each into 3 bowls.  Squeeze a few drops of red and blue into each bowl, whisk together and cook on a griddle over medium-high heat. Stack, serve and enjoy!
