To make these birthday cake pancakes, I started by dumping some flour, granulated white sugar, baking powder and baking soda into a large mixing bowl.

I added some vegetable oil, an egg, milk, vinegar and vanilla extract to the bowl.

I mixed well until no lumps remained.

Then I added some colourful sprinkles to the bowl.

I folded the sprinkles into the pancake batter.

I left the batter to sit for a few minutes.

I used a 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop the batter into a hot pan.

I cooked the pancake until the batter was bubbling on top.

Then I flipped the pancake to cook the other side.

Once the pancake was cooked on both sides I transferred it to a plate.

I repeated the process to cook ten pancakes.

I whisked together some powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract to make some icing.

Once the pancakes had cooled slightly they were ready to serve.

I poured some icing on top of the pancakes.

FAQ:

How thick should these pancakes get?

• These pancakes won’t get super thick, it’s a medium thickness, so don’t worry if they aren’t super thick when you make them. You can compare yours to the ones in the photos to see the thickness they should get to.

How do I get these pancakes thicker?

• To increase the thickness of pancakes you can let the batter sit for an extra 5 to 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb more of the liquid in the batter. Or add more flour to the batter 1-2 tablespoons at a time.

When exactly do I flip these pancakes?

• Flip the pancakes when the top is bubbling; if you want very light pancakes, flip when they start bubbling, for darker golden pancakes flip when they have bubbles spread over the entire pancake. You may also see the batter start to firm on the edges, this is another way to tell that it’s ready to flip.

I forgot to add the sprinkles to the batter, can I add it to the top of my pancakes while baking?

• No! If you add the sprinkles while on the pan, the sprinkles will melt on the top of the pancake when you flip it over and you’ll have a layer of melted sprinkles on the top of your pancake. This does not look pretty and does not taste good. Instead, add the sprinkles of the rest of the batter and stir in before making more pancakes.

How do I make all of the pancakes the same size so I can stack them?

• The best way to make sure all of the pancakes are just about the same size is by using a measuring cup to pour the batter onto the pan.
