Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons orange zest
- 3 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 as needed cooking oil or butter (for greasing)
- 1 as desired whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as desired maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if the batter has a few lumps.
Fold in the rainbow sprinkles and mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking oil or butter.
Scoop 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with optional toppings like whipped cream, maple syrup, or additional sprinkles for an extra burst of fun.
