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
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the sprinkles.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately ¼ cup for each pancake.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
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.
