Make this month’s must-try recipe

Serves 4 Prep 10 mins Cook 20 mins Stack them up in colourful piles and top with whipped cream, maple syrup and mixed berries. 200g self-raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp golden caster sugar

½ tsp vanilla extract

200ml milk

3 eggs

25g butter, melted, plus extra for frying red, yellow, green and blue gel food

colouring

1 Put all the ingredients, except the food colouring, in a bowl and whisk well until smooth. Divide the batter into five bowls or cups. Use the food colouring to dye four batches different colours, leaving one plain.

2 Melt a small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat. Once foaming, put spoonfuls of the batter into the pan and shape into 4-5cm circles with the back of the spoon. You should have enough to make 4 pancakes from each of the coloured batters. Cook for 2-3 mins then flip over and cook for another minute or until cooked through and ever so slightly golden.

3 Stack the pancakes so that everyone has each colour. Serve the stacks topped with fruit, cream or ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup, if you like.
