Instructions
Make the Pancakes 1 In a large bowl, measure out the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sprinkles. Whisk together until incorporated. 2 In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract and oil. Whisk together with a fork until combined — you want to ensure that the egg is completely incorporated. 3 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will affect the texture and rise of the pancakes. 4 Set aside the batter, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. 5 While the batter rests, heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. We want the griddle to be hot, but not scorching hot. 6 Grease the pan lightly with butter or cooking spray. 7 Dollop the pancakes onto the preheated skillet when ready. I like to use a cookie scoop to measure my pancakes out into 1.5-tablespoon silver dollar sized ones, but you can use a larger measuring scoop if you’d rather larger pancakes. 8 When several bubbles have formed on the surface, flip the pancakes, and cook through. Repeat until all batter has been made into pancakes. Make the glaze 10 Combine the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract in a food processor. Add a pinch of salt, too. 11 Blend until smooth. 12 Make a stack of pancakes, and serve with the vanilla glaze, whipped cream and extra sprinkles.View original recipe
