Method

Follow packet instructions. Pour the 300ml Milk and the American Style Pancake Mix into a bowl and mix with a whisk or an electric mixer until smooth. 

2

Divide the mix into 5 small Bowls (adding a little more mixture to two of the bowls) and stir in a 1/4 tsp of Colour Gel into each bowl. Add a few more drops of colour if desired to achieve a brighter colour. 

3

Heat a small amount of butter/oil in a large, circular frying pan, over a medium heat. 

4

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of batter into the pan per pancake - each pancake should be about 8 cm wide and 1 cm deep. Make sure the pancakes aren't too close together as they will spread during cooking. 

5

Cook the pancakes until bubbles start to appear, using a spatula flip the pancakes over and cook for a further 1-2 minutes on the other side. Transfer to a plate lined with Kitchen Roll. Repeat the above step for each colour batter, double up on two of the colours from the first step and you should end up with 7 pancakes. Once all the pancakes are cooked you can stack them up to create a Rainbow pancake tower!

6

For the Marshmallow Sauce

In a Saucepan gently melt the Heart Marshmallows with the cream. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools. 

7

Stack the pancakes on a plate, pour on some Marshmallow Sauce and top with Dr. Oetker Unicorn Confetti Sprinkles and White Giant Chocolate Stars.
