Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins and For Cooking
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles (preferably jimmies-style to prevent color bleeding)
- Additional butter or oil for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute all dry components.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
- Add Sprinkles: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles into the batter, being careful to avoid excessive mixing to prevent color bleeding.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil to ensure pancakes don’t stick.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, then carefully flip the pancakes. Continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes until the pancakes are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Repeat and Serve: Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with additional butter and maple syrup as desired.
Notes
- Use jimmies-style sprinkles to prevent color bleeding into the batter.
- For extra sweetness, top pancakes with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
