Red, White, and Blue Pancakes: A Festive Independence Day Breakfast

What better way to kick off your Independence Day festivities than with a plate of red, white, and blue pancakes? To create these patriotic treats, simply divide your pancake batter into three separate bowls. Add red food coloring to one bowl, blue food coloring to another, and leave the third bowl plain for the white pancakes. Cook each color of pancake batter separately on a griddle, then stack them in a festive red, white, and blue tower. Top with whipped cream and fresh berries for a truly patriotic breakfast that will have everyone feeling the holiday spirit. For one of our favorite 4th of July pancake recipes try Rachel’s here.
