Cake Batter Pancake


Okay, so I thought these would be perfect for Aiden's birthday dinner, but we had a slight problem. We ended up buying a butter cake mix instead of a yellow cake mix. Note, these are completely different. I'm pretty sure they would be AWESOME with a yellow cake mix, but I couldn't force myself to eat these with the butter cake mix. I certainly want to try them again because they weren't awful, they just had a taste that was off from the mix.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup yellow cake mix
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 cups milk
sprinkles

Directions
  1. Combine flour, cake mix, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl and mix.
  2. Add 1 cup of milk, egg and vanilla extract and stir until smooth. You want the batter to look like regular pancake batter; not too thin, not too thick. This will vary greatly on the brand of cake mix you use. Start with 1 cup of milk and add more if needed. *You may need to have small taste test to see if the pancakes are flavored enough, if not, add a little more yellow cake mix until desired flavor is reached**
  3. Preheat a skillet on medium-high heat.
  4. Fold desired amount of sprinkles into batter.
  5. Pour batter in 1/4 cup measurements onto skillet and let cook until bubbles form on top, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more.
  6. Serve with vanilla glaze.

Glaze Ingredients
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
assorted sprinkles

Directions
Mix milk, extract and powdered sugar until glaze forms. You may need to add a little more sugar or water/milk to reach desired consistency. I needed to add more milk. Mix into glaze and drizzle on pancakes.
