Ingredients

Pancakes

1 cup Original Bisquick™ mix
1 cup Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
3 tablespoons candy sprinkles
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Additional candy sprinkles

Steps

1

Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat or electric griddle to 375°F; grease with cooking spray, vegetable oil or shortening. (Surface is ready when a few drops of water sprinkled on it dance and disappear.)
2

In medium bowl, stir together pancake ingredients until blended. Pour by slightly less than 1/4 cupfuls onto hot griddle. Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook until pancakes are golden brown. Stack on serving plates.

In small bowl, beat powdered sugar, milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla with whisk until smooth.
4

To serve, top each serving with glaze and additional candy sprinkles.

These would be a perfect addition to a birthday breakfast table!
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.
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!
