# Steps:
01 - Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs then add milk, melted cooled butter and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; small lumps are acceptable to avoid overmixing.
04 - Divide the batter evenly into 3 to 5 small bowls, add a few drops of different food coloring to each and stir until the color is uniform.
05 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a little butter or neutral oil.
06 - Pour about 1/4 cup of colored batter onto the skillet and use a spoon to shape it into an oval or egg shape; cook 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until golden. Repeat with remaining batter, wiping the pan between dramatically different colors if desired.
07 - Whisk the powdered sugar with 2 to 3 tablespoons milk until smooth and pourable; adjust milk to reach desired glaze consistency.
08 - Allow pancakes to cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze and garnish with sprinkles, fruit, chocolate chips, coconut and mini marshmallows; for a decorative effect, pipe colored batter in stripes or dots before flipping.
09 - Serve warm with maple syrup or whipped cream if desired and advise guests that decorations may contain additional allergens.
