Pancakes

– 1 cup of milk

-2 eggs

-1 teaspoon of vanilla

Glaze

-1 cup powdered sugar

-1/4 cup of milk

-1 teaspoon of vanilla

-red and blue food coloring

Directions

  1. Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat.
  2. In a bowl, stir together the pancake ingredients with a whisk until just mixed.
  3. To make a pancake, pour slightly less than a 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook for approximately 30 seconds or until the edges look dry and then flip, cooking until pancake is light golden brown.
  4. To create the glaze, beat the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla with a whisk until it comes together and is smooth. Divide the glaze evenly into 3 bowls, leaving one white and tinting the other two with the blue and red food coloring.
  5. To finish the pancakes, drizzle the red, white, and blue glaze over the pancakes and serve.
