Equipment

  • 1 pan or griddle
  • 2 mixing bowls 1 medium & 1 small
  • 1 mixing spatula
  • 1 turner

Ingredients

Birthday Buttermilk Pancakes

  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup neutral-flavored oil I used canola
  • 1 cup cultured buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 TBSP vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt heaped (do not level)
  • 2½ TBSP sprinkle jimmies
  • butter for pan

Frosting Glaze (Optional)

  • ¾ cup confectioner's sugar
  • 2½ TBSP milk

Instructions

  • Combine all the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and mix until evenly incorporated
  • Add the brown sugar, egg, buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until generally combined but lumps are still present.
  • Fold in the sprinkle jimmies being careful not to make the batter smooth and still retain the lumps.
  • Bring your pan to temperature over medium-high heat. Add butter to the pan, allowing it to melt and cover the surface of the pan.
  • Scoop pancake batter onto the hot pan, leaving about 2 inches of space between each to allow for the batter to spread a little and for flipping
  • Allow the pancakes to cook for about 2 minutes on each side flipping the pancake once the edges are cooked and you can touch them without your finger (or turner) getting smudged with batter.
  • Enjoy pancakes warm with your choice of syrup/topping!

Optional Frosting Glaze

  • Mix the confectioner's sugar and milk together in a small bowl until smooth and set aside until ready to use.
