Description
Delicious funfetti pancakes with a sweet butter glaze, perfect for breakfast or brunch!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt (sea salt or kosher salt)
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1¼ cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ cup rainbow jimmies sprinkles
- ½ cup butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until evenly combined.
- In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the whole milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the larger bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir, with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, just until combined and no dry pockets remain in the pancake batter.
- Let the pancake batter rest for 5 minutes. While the batter rests, prepare the skillet. Heat a nonstick skillet or electric griddle over medium heat, and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray, butter, or oil.
- Once the pancake batter has rested, gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles with a spatula, with light strokes so the batter stays fluffy and the colors do not bleed into the batter too much.
- Scoop ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook until bubbles form and pop on top and around the edges. About 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through in the center. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. When the butter is completely melted and smooth, whisk in the powdered sugar.
- Stir in the heavy cream while whisking until the glaze loosens up and becomes easy to pour and drizzle.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Drizzle the butter glaze generously over the warm funfetti pancakes. Serve alongside whipped cream, butter, and extra sprinkles. Enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Serve with additional butter and syrup if desired.
