How to Make Christmas Pancakes
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently to ensure fluffy pancakes.
Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, folding them into the batter with care.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat, lightly greased with cooking spray or butter.
Pour a generous scoop of batter onto the skillet, about 1/4 cup per pancake, and add sprinkles on top.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Stack pancakes and serve warm with syrup or toppings.
For the perfect pancakes, do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine. Make sure the skillet is at the right temperature to avoid undercooked or burnt pancakes.
