Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 2/3 cups (400 ml) milk
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup (120 g) rainbow sprinkles
Dry Ingredients for Pancakes:
- 3 tablespoons (38 g) sugar
- 2 teaspoons (10 g) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
Additional Ingredients and Icing:
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) almond extract
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) oil
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk for icing
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vanilla for icing
Instructions
- Thoroughly combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring sprinkles are evenly distributed throughout the powdery mixture.
- Whisk together liquid components in a separate vessel, creating a smooth, uniform liquid blend with vibrant vanilla undertones.
- Gently fold wet ingredients into dry mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Allow batter to rest and develop flavor complexity for 5-7 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat griddle to 375°F, lightly greasing surface with cooking spray or butter. Pour batter in 1/4 cup portions, watching for tiny bubbles to emerge across pancake surface.
- Carefully flip pancakes when edges appear slightly dry and bubbles form consistently, cooking additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare creamy icing by whisking powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract until silky and pourable, creating a delicate drizzling consistency.
- Transfer warm pancakes to serving plates, generously drizzle with prepared icing, and garnish with additional sprinkles for festive presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality sprinkles for vibrant color and festive look.
- Fold sprinkles gently into batter to prevent color bleeding and maintain their shape.
- Allow batter to rest to help gluten relax, creating fluffier pancakes with better texture.
- Substitute milk with dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk for vegan version.
