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.

Notes

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.
