These pink pancakes are so easy to make!

Note:

If the mixture isn’t as pink as you would like, then add strawberry syrup to it instead of sugar to sweeten.

Step 4

If the batter is the proper thickness, then pour on a greased griddle at 350 degrees flipping when golden pink.

Note:

If the batter is too thin, add a little more pancake mix. If the batter is too thick, then add some of the reserved strawberry/buttermilk mixture or additional strawberry syrup.

Step 5

Stack and top with more strawberries or a simple glaze of milk & powdered sugar. Add pink sprinkles if desired.

Step 6

Invite Barbie and friends for a breakfast treat!
