Description

Fun pancakes for a special occasion! Or just a snowy Saturday.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE PANCAKES:
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ⅔ cups Yellow Cake Mix
  • ¾ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 2 cups (scant) Milk
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Assorted Sprinkles
  • _____
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • ½ Tablespoons Milk
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • Assorted Sprinkles

Preparation

For the pancakes:
Combine flour, cake mix, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl and mix. Add 1 cup of milk, egg and vanilla extract and stir until smooth. You want the batter to look like regular pancake batter; not too thin, not too thick. This will vary greatly depending on the brand of cake mix you use. Start with 1 cup of milk and add more if needed. I suggest a small taste test as well to see if the pancakes are flavored enough.

Preheat a skillet on medium heat (I use an electric grill and turn it to 250 degrees F). Fold desired amount of sprinkles into batter. Pour batter in 1/4 cup measurements onto skillet and let cook until bubbles form on top, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Serve with vanilla glaze.

For the glaze:
Mix milk, extract and powdered sugar until glaze forms. You may need to add a little more sugar or water/milk to reach desired consistency. Mix and drizzle on pancakes. Garnish with more sprinkles and serve.

I just added the cake mix, to some pre-packaged pancake mix, and it was still delicious!

You have got to be kidding – another reason to keep the 12 boxes of cake mix in the house! Thanks!

Made these for our early Vday celebration when we all had a snow day! I thought they were very yummy, but I thought the glaze was a bit too sweet–which is very odd for me to think! But I loved the hint of cake flavor and they were even better the next day cold! (crazy?!) Will make again!
