Funfetti Pancakes
In the words of my 4-year-old daughter “sprinkles make everything better” and as if a good batch of pancakes needed to be made better, apparently funfetti is the answer. And while I love all of the delicious birthday desserts, I want to start my special day off with a birthday breakfast too.
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter , melted + more to grease pan
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2/3 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablspoons milk
- 1/8 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter , melted
Direction
- Whisk or sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together the butter, eggs, milk and extracts until blended.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients until just mixed, resist overmixing, the batter may be lumpy. Fold in the sprinkles. Let the pancake batter rest for 3 minutes.
- Heat a skillet or griddle (350°F) on medium heat. Once heated, grease with butter and scoop approximately 1/4 cup of pancake batter into griddle. You may need to use a spoon to form a pancake shape.
- When bubbles start to form, carefully flip with a spatula and cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes.
- Transfer the pancakes to a cooling rack until all of the batter is cooked or you can place the pancakes on a baking sheet and leave them in a warmed oven (300°F) until all of the pancakes are cooked to keep warm
- To make the glaze, in a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, extract and butter until smooth.
- When ready to serve, transfer the pancakes to a serving plate and top with the glaze, whipped cream, and more sprinkles or any toppings of your choice.
