Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cake mix
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1 as needed cooking spray or butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cake mix, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the rainbow sprinkles, being cautious not to overstir, as the sprinkles may bleed their color.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly if necessary to ensure an even thickness.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the skillet between batches as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, syrup, or additional sprinkles for an extra festive touch.
