In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until well combined.

In a large bowl, pour in 1 cup of milk, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, crack in 1 egg, and mix in 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Whisk until smooth.

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, ensuring not to over-mix.

Gradually add a few drops of pink or red food coloring to achieve the desired shade.

Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook for about 2 minutes.

Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve immediately with toppings of choice such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
