Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sprinkles

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Gently fold in the sprinkles.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  6. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately ¼ cup for each pancake.
  7. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your festive pancakes!

Notes

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
  • You can add a touch of almond extract for a more distinct cake batter flavor.
  • Ensure your sprinkles are bake-safe to prevent color bleeding.
