Once your batter is mixed, stir in 2-3 drops of bright green gel food coloring — a little bit goes a long way!
Pour batter into a plastic squeeze bottle.
When griddle is ready, coat generously with butter or cooking spray so pancakes won't stick. Use the squeeze bottle to draw the outline of a shamrock with batter, connecting the ends completely.
After you've drawn the entire outline, fill in the middle with batter. Your pancake is ready to flip with the top surface is covered with tiny bubbles.
