Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles to taste
  • Favorite pancake toppings such as more sprinkles, fruit, jam, coconut, maple syrup, butter, whipped cream, nuts or nut butter, chocolate chips, yogurt, etc.

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract. Then mix the wet and dry ingredients together and mix until just combined.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Spray with oil or butter the pan if needed/desired. Using ¼ or ½ cup measuring cups (depending on the desired size), pour the batter into the pan, spreading the batter flat.
  • Sprinkle the sprinkles on the uncooked side of the pancake in a single layer. Cook until you see bubbles on the outer corners. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until brown. Repeat until all batter is completely used.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings and Enjoy!

Notes

Storage
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 3 days. To freeze for use later, you'll need to freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Once they are frozen solid put them into a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
Reheating
  • In an oven, spread the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet then cover the baking sheet with foil. Heat at 350 degrees for about 5-10 minutes. To reheat frozen pancakes in the oven, add an additional 5-7 minutes.
  • In an air fryer, arrange in a single layer in your air fryer basket and heat on 325 degrees for about 2-3 minutes. To reheat frozen pancakes in the air fryer, add an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • In the microwave, heat pancakes in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate on high heat for about 10-20 seconds for 1-3 pancakes and 30-60 seconds for 4+ pancakes. To reheat frozen pancakes in the microwave, heat 1-3 pancakes for 20-30 seconds and 45-60 seconds for 4+ pancakes.
