In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, butter and egg. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture; whisk just until moistened (do not over mix)
Separate batter into four bowls and add desired color gel.
Heat griddle to a medium-high heat and lightly spray with cooking oil.
For each mini pancake, spoon batter onto skillet. Our pancakes were about 2.5 - 3 inch in diameter.
Cook until mini pancakes have some bubbles about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until bottom side is finished. Stack a few pancakes and insert a lollipop stick.
