Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until the dry ingredients are well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in 1/4 cup of sprinkles into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the Funfetti Cake Batter Pancakes warm, topped with additional sprinkles, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix the batter. A few lumps are perfectly fine and will result in fluffier pancakes.
- Customize Your Sprinkles: Feel free to mix and match different types of sprinkles! Use rainbow sprinkles for a classic look or themed sprinkles for special occasions.
- Preheat Your Skillet: Make sure your skillet is preheated to medium heat before pouring in the batter. This ensures even cooking and helps achieve that perfect golden-brown color.
- Keep Them Warm: If you’re making a large batch, keep the pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest. This way, they’ll all be hot and ready to serve!
- Top It Off: Get creative with toppings! Consider adding whipped cream, fresh fruit, or even a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
