  1. In a large bowl, place the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to combine.
  2. Add the milk, oil and egg, then whisk together to form a loose batter. Add orange food colouring until you reach the desired colour density, then set aside. You can form your pancakes with a ladle, but a squeeze bottle might be easier.
  3. To cook, place a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. There are two ways you can do this. The first is to lay down the batter and place the chocolate chip face down on the wet side, then flip it. Or you can place the chocolate chip face down on the warm pan, then pour batter over it for more definition.
  4. Continue making pancakes until all the batter is used up. You should have about 12 hand-sized pancakes.
  5. Serve warm with toppings of choice.
