Funfetti Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
• 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup full fat sour cream
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons sprinkles (jimmies)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Heat an electric griddle to 375º F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and baking powder.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until most of the flour has been incorporated.
5. Add in the sprinkles and fold just until the flour is fully incorporated. If you mix too much the color of the sprinkle will start to run.The batter will be very thick.
6. Melt a little bit of butter on the preheated griddle where you are going to drop the pancake batter.
7. Drop 1/4 cup of batter onto the melted butter. Cook until the edges are dry and the tops begin to look dry, about 6-8 minutes. It is important to let the first side fully cook before flipping in order for the pancakes to rise properly.
8. Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side until cooked through.
9. In a microwave safe bowl, add the milk and butter and microwave until the butter has melted.
10. Add in the vanilla and whisk to mix.
11. Add in the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, whisking well after each addition until desired consistency is reached.
12. If glaze is too thin whisk in a bit more powdered sugar. If glaze is too thick, whisk in a bit of milk.
13. Top the pancakes with the glaze.

Enjoy!!!
