Rainbow pancakes

When home alone and left to my own devices, I often find myself doing rather time-inapropriate activities. Such as making rainbow pancakes at 10:00 p.m., when I'm not hungry.

They're pretty easy to make, but when I can't seem to cook anything in the timeframe of a normal human being, the activity easily occupied my night.

You take normal pancake mix (of which we had none, I made these from scratch)...

and food coloring...

and you divide the batter into separate bowls, one for each color.

MIX!

My first round was too pale, so I had to add a ton more coloring to get it right.

Then came the actual cooking. They turned out much more brown than photos I've seen, but once they were stacked and cut, the colors looked great!

The blue one looked like the moon.

And of course, I can't seem to cut anything into this shape without making a pacman joke...

And there you have it! Rainbow pancakes! :)

...p.s. I don't think any of you understand how long it takes me to get a good picture of myself for these posts. This is basically what I go through every time.
