For the Pancakes:

  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1.5 cups buttermilk
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons multi-colored jimmies-type sprinkles

  • Additional sprinkles
  • Butter
  • maple syrup

Equipment

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg (if using).
  2. Step 2: In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Step 4: Fold in the multi-colored sprinkles gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Step 5: Preheat your griddle or skillet over medium heat. Test with a few drops of water.
  6. Step 6: Lightly grease the griddle. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  7. Step 7: Stack pancakes on a plate, serve warm with whipped cream, sprinkles, and maple syrup.
