How to Make Delicious Funfetti Pancakes

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
0.25 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tbsp butter, melted
0.5 cup sprinkles

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Fold in the sprinkles.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You may add a little butter to grease it.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter.

How to Serve Delicious Funfetti Pancakes

Serve the funfetti pancakes warm, stacked high on a plate. You can top them with maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra sprinkles for added fun. Fresh fruits like strawberries or bananas also make a great addition.

How to Store Delicious Funfetti Pancakes

To store leftover pancakes, let them cool completely. Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months. Just make sure to separate each pancake with parchment paper before placing them in the freezer.

Tips to Make Delicious Funfetti Pancakes

Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
Don’t flip the pancakes too early; wait until you see bubbles on the surface.
Experiment with different types of sprinkles or add chocolate chips for a fun twist.
Adjust the thickness of the batter by adding a little more milk if needed.

Variation

You can make these pancakes gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour. Alternatively, add some vanilla extract or almond extract to the batter for an extra touch of flavor.
