Calories: 220kcal
Equipment
- Griddle (or skillet)
- Spatula
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients for Pancakes
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup sprinkles (also called jimmies)
Wet Ingredients for Pancakes
- 1 ¼ cups milk warm
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
Vanilla Glaze (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the dry ingredients (except the sprinkles) to a large bowl. Gently stir to mix the dry ingredients.
- Melt butter. Warm milk in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then in a medium sized bowl, add all of the wet ingredients and whisk until combined.
- Pour the bowl of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined and a batter forms. Don't overmix the batter, lumps are ok. Add the sprinkles to the batter and gently fold them in. Rest the batter for at least 15 minutes.
- Grease griddle with butter or oil. Add ¼ cup of batter to the griddle and cook on medium heat until bubbles form on the surface and begin to pop, about 3 minutes. Flip pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes until cooked through. Repeat until all the batter is cooked.
- To make Vanilla Glaze: in a small bowl mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until smooth. If you prefer a thinner glaze consistency, add a little more milk.
- Serve funfetti pancakes with vanilla glaze drizzled on top. Add whipped cream and extra sprinkles, if desired.
Notes
- Optional toppings for pancakes: maple syrup, whipped cream, or jam/jelly.
