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

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the whole milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. When the butter is completely melted and smooth, whisk in the powdered sugar.
  9. Stir in the heavy cream while whisking until the glaze loosens up and becomes easy to pour and drizzle.
  10. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until everything is well combined and smooth.
  11. 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.
