I used to reserve special meals for birthdays and holidays – days I felt were causes for celebration. But since the birth of my first child, every day is a special occasion. Each day is a celebration of life, love and laughter. I learn as much through my little ones as I try to teach them…sometimes more ;) Being a mother is an incredible honor God has given me! So this morning, I decided to start our day off with a little breakfast fun and make Confetti Cakes (a little spin on the plain Jane pancake).
Confetti Cakes
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
½ tsp salt
¾ cup milk
1 egg
2 tbsp oil
¼ cup rainbow sprinkles
Directions:
Preheat griddle to 350°.
Mix the first four ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Whisk the milk, egg and oil together until well blended. Add the flour mixture and mix gently until batter comes together. Stir in sprinkles. Let batter sit for 5 minutes. This will allow the batter to get “fluffy”.
Trying not to disturb the batter too much, dollop large even spoonfuls of batter on the ungreased griddle (I used a regular ice cream scoop – about ¼ cup). Let the pancakes get nice and golden brown on this side before flipping, about 3 minutes. Turn pancakes over on the other side and allow to cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Serve these colorful cakes stacked, soaked with syrup and topped with an extra sprinkle of love.
Enjoy!
