Ingredients

Pancakes

Glaze and Garnish

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • Additional Betty Crocker™ Rainbow Sprinkles, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or electric griddle to 350°F. (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.)
  • 2
    In medium bowl, whisk together pancake ingredients until blended.
  • 3
    Brush griddle with vegetable oil or shortening. For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook until golden brown. Remove from griddle to serving plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • 4
    In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until well blended. If too thick to drizzle, add additional milk 1/2 teaspoon at a time for desired drizzling consistency.
  • 5
    To serve, top each pancake with glaze and additional candy sprinkles.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Don't flip'em more than once! Repeated cooking on both sides toughens rather than browning the pancakes.
  • tip 2
    Keep pancakes warm by setting them on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet in the oven at 200°F until you’ve finished making the entire batch.
  • tip 3
    Serve pancakes with maple syrup or top with whipped cream.
  • tip 4
    These would be a perfect addition to a birthday breakfast table!
  • tip 5
    Try experimenting with different colored sprinkles for holiday celebrations. Green sprinkles would be a wonderful touch on St. Patrick’s Day, while red, white and blue sprinkles would be a great option for a festive Fourth of July brunch!
  • tip 6
    Save the remaining cake mix in an airtight container to make this recipe again.
