- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
-
Make the Pancakes:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring until smooth. Adjust the food coloring for your desired shade of pink.
- Combine: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden.
- Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

Make the White Chocolate Maple Syrup:
- In a small saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, maple syrup, and heavy cream over low heat.
- Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the syrup is smooth and glossy. Remove from heat.
-
Serve:
- Stack the pink pancakes on a plate and generously drizzle with the white chocolate maple syrup.
- Garnish with whipped cream, fresh berries, or festive sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve the perfect shade of pink for your pancakes.
- If the syrup is too thick, you can add a little more maple syrup or cream to thin it out.
