Rainbow Silver Dollar Pancakes

Directions

1. 1
   For the pancakes: Sift the flour and sugar together.
2. 2
   Add the milk, vanilla and eggs and mix until smooth.
3. 3
   Divide the batter into smaller bowls.
4. 4
   For each bowl, you will need about 1 teaspoon of flavor extract and 4 to 5 drops of gel food coloring.
5. 5
   I recommend using food coloring gel which is brighter (regular food coloring will also work; you will just need to use a bit more).
6. 6
   You can match it to the desired flavor; for instance, yellow for banana, red for raspberry, etc.
7. 7
   Once you have flavored and colored your batter, it is time to cook the pancakes!
8. 8
   Heat a nonstick frying pan or griddle, melt some butter and pour the batter to create pancake rounds.
9. 9
   For silver dollar pancakes, use about 1 tablespoon per pancake (adjust for desired size).
10. 10
    Repeat with ingredients.
11. 11
    For the syrup: In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, rum, cinnamon and vanilla.
12. 12
    Heat until it comes to a boil, and then remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
13. 13
    Serve the pancakes warm with the syrup and extra butter if desired.
