Funfetti Pancakes

buttermilk

butter, melted and cooled

almond extract, optional

rainbow sprinkles, divided (jimmies, not nonpareils)

sugar,

unsalted butter, melted

Make the pancakes: In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla, and almond extract (if using) until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula just until no large lumps remain. (Some small lumps are okay - do not overmix.) Set the batter aside to rest for 5-10 minutes.

Make the glaze: While the batter rests, whisk the powdered sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Add more milk if needed for a pourable consistency. Set aside.

Warm a griddle pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or cooking spray.

Gently fold 1/2 cup of sprinkles into the rested batter. Then, scoop/pour 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, 1-2 minutes more.
