Cake mix, flour and sprinkles turn regular pancakes into Cake Batter Sprinkles Pancakes. Pretty and festive, these pancakes are perfect for celebrating all of life’s special occasions, big, small and just because…….
We have a family tradition for birthdays. Each family member, on their birthday, gets to choose what they’d like to eat for breakfast and dinner and they get to choose what kind of cake they’d like me to make. Cake Batter Sprinkles Pancakes are a great way to start a birthday!
Sprinkles make everything taste better, right? Who can resist those pretty multi-colored specks of sugar.
Here’s all you do…
Mix together flour, yellow cake mix, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, mix the eggs, vanilla extract and milk together and blend it with the dry ingredients…
Next, add the sprinkles. I used 1/2 cup because sprinkles were very important…
After you’ve prepared the batter, heat up a griddle or frying pan on a medium-low heat. When the griddle’s heated, butter the surface and measure out 1/4 cup of the batter and pour it onto the griddle. I love the size of these…they’re perfect!
When you begin to see little bubbles on the top, carefully flip the pancakes over and cook the other side for a minute or so.
When they’re finished, pile them high on a plate. Have a look at all those pretty colorful sprinkles scattered throughout – aren’t they festive!
Top them with your favorite syrup or a glaze made with powdered sugar, milk and vanilla and of course, more sprinkles…
When you slice into these pancakes, you’ll notice lots of sprinkles throughout each pancake…
Cake Batter Sprinkle Pancakes are a fun and festive breakfast. Perfect for birthdays and un-birthdays too!
