Ingredients
- 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1½ teaspoon Salt
- 3 Eggs
- 3 cups Buttermilk
- ⅓ cup Butter melted, plus more for frying pancakes
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 10 drops Green Food Coloring
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk to combine.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract and whisk well to break up the eggs. Add the green food coloring and mix again.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until well-combined. Do not overmix - the mixture should still be a little lumpy.
- Heat a pan or non-stick griddle over medium heat, then add about a tablespoon of butter to grease the pan.
- Transfer pancake batter to a piping bag and cut a small tip off of the end. Quickly pipe the outline of a four leaf clover onto the griddle and then fill in with pancake batter.
- Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are beginning to look cooked, or about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes using a spatula and continue to cook the other side until golden and cooked through, or about 1 minute more. Repeat this process with remaining batter.
- Serve pancakes with butter, syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
