Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly combined.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg with 3/4 cup milk, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined; do not overmix — small lumps are fine.
  4. Step 4: Fold in 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles carefully, so they don’t bleed color.
  5. Step 5: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  6. Step 6: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
  7. Step 7: While pancakes cook, mix 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
  8. Step 8: Stack pancakes on plates, drizzle with the vanilla yogurt sauce, and sprinkle extra rainbow sprinkles on top for a colorful finish.
