Birthday Pancakes

by Jamar Stephen

When I wake up on my birthday I think about breakfast because I’m hungry. Then when I walk out I see my birthday pancakes. It tastes like buttermilk pancakes, rainbow sprinkles, and cupcakes.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Sugar
• Salt
• Buttermilk
• Vegetable oil
• Egg
• Sprinkles
• Butter
• Cream cheese
• Powdered sugar
• Milk
• Vanilla extract
• Whipped cream

Instructions

1. Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a bowl; whisk them to mix. Add the buttermilk, oil, and egg. With a spoon, mix all ingredients and beat until smooth, add the sprinkles in last.
2. Heat a skillet or a griddle over medium-low heat. Brush with a little oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray. If the batter seems to be too thick while you’re cooking the pancakes, add a little more buttermilk and mix well.
3. Pour in batter until it spreads to the desired size. Let the batter start to show small bubbles on top before you turn the pancake over to finish cooking. Turning pancakes is made much easier if you spray your pancake turner with a nonstick spray. The turner does not stick to the uncooked pancake batter when you are turning them. Cook the pancakes until golden on both sides.
