Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the Griddle: Set your griddle to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to preheat thoroughly for even cooking of the pancakes.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter, egg, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Use a hand or stand mixer to blend the ingredients together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Incorporate Sprinkles: Gently fold the rainbow sprinkles into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing to avoid color bleeding.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a tablespoon or a ladle, scoop about 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the preheated griddle. Cook until air bubbles appear on the surface, then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a large plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, butter, or extra sprinkles.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter once the wet and dry ingredients have been combined; this helps keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Use a non-stick griddle or lightly grease the surface to prevent pancakes from sticking.
- For a dairy-free variant, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk and use a plant-based butter alternative.
- Adding sprinkles last helps keep their color vibrant without bleeding into the batter.
- Maintain medium-low heat on the griddle to avoid burning while ensuring pancakes cook evenly.
