Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- A few drops of green food coloring (gel or liquid)

- Maple syrup, for serving
- Red candy hearts or red M&M’s
Instructions:

- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Add green food coloring until you reach your desired shade of Grinchy green.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined — do not overmix.
