Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional
- Red and green sprinkles, as desired
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agents.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Preheat skillet: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes: Pour portions of batter onto the heated skillet. Immediately sprinkle red and green sprinkles onto each pancake to infuse festive color.
- Flip carefully: Cook pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip. Continue cooking the other side until golden brown, about an additional 2 minutes.
- Serve warm: Remove pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately while warm. Pair with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite holiday toppings for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain fluffy pancakes.
- Use medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring thorough cooking.
- Add extra sprinkles on top for a more festive appearance if desired.
- Butter or oil can be used to grease the skillet depending on preference.
- These pancakes are best served fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven if needed.
