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

  1. Thoroughly combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring sprinkles are evenly distributed throughout the powdery mixture.
  2. Whisk together liquid components in a separate vessel, creating a smooth, uniform liquid blend with vibrant vanilla undertones.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Carefully flip pancakes when edges appear slightly dry and bubbles form consistently, cooking additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Prepare creamy icing by whisking powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract until silky and pourable, creating a delicate drizzling consistency.
  7. 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.
