Ingredients:
For the pancakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles (plus more for topping)
For the topping (optional):
- Whipped cream
- Extra sprinkles
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
Instructions:
1. Mix the dry ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Mix the wet ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is okay. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, being careful not to stir too much or the sprinkles may bleed into the batter.
4. Cook the pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
5. Serve:
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with whipped cream, more sprinkles, syrup, or any other toppings you like!
