Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil, for skillet
1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles, plus for sprinkling
3/4 cup vanilla frosting, from can
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour, and stir until combined but still somewhat lumpy. Mix in 1/4 cup of the sprinkles.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle pan over medium-high heat. When hot, lightly brush with oil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- In batches, spoon 1/2 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet, and immediately sprinkle some of the remaining sprinkles. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until golden brown on the underside and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
- As you go, transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil, and keep warm in the oven.
- Heat the frosting in the microwave until just barely runny, about 40 seconds (do not overheat or the frosting will separate). Stir.
- Make a giant pancake stack, and pour the warm frosting over the top. Sprinkle with additional sprinkles. Serve immediately.
