Ingredients You’ll Need For This Recipe

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups milk (or non-dairy alternative)
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Green food coloring
Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
Green sprinkles

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly. This will create a buttermilk effect.

Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk mixture, egg, oil, vanilla extract, and a few drops of green food coloring. Adjust the food coloring to reach your desired shade of green.

Step 4: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—some lumps are okay.

Step 5: Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Step 6: Stack the pancakes on a plate. Top with a generous amount of whipped cream and a sprinkling of festive green sprinkles.

Whether you’re chasing rainbows or just chasing seconds, these Saint Patrick’s Day Green Pancakes are a golden way to start the day! So stack ‘em high, drizzle ‘em with syrup, and may your breakfast be as lucky as a four-leaf clover!
