Vanilla Funfetti Pancakes

It's pancake day tomorrow, so here's another tasty pancake recipe to satisfy those pancake urges. These pancakes use the same basic recipe as the chocolate orange pancakes I shared at the weekend, with the addition of vanilla and sprinkles. Sprinkles are a fun addition to any treat or dessert (just check out my Sprinkle Party post as proof of that), and with the creamy topping that tastes like real dairy ice cream, these make a sumptuous dessert or indulgent breakfast perfect for birthdays (or any other day!)

The baking powder in this recipe makes them puff up in the pan, to produce thick and fluffy pancakes. The sprinkles do disappear into the batter if you add them too soon, so make sure you add them just before you're ready to use the batter. For extra sprinkly pancakes you can scatter a few onto the batter once it's in the pan.

Chocolate Orange Pancakes for Pancake Day 2017

Pancake Day will soon be upon us, and kids all over the country will be pestering their parents for pancakes after school. If you want to really impress the kids then instead of slaving over the stove for ages making crepe style pancakes, and having them eaten before you've make the next one, make a batch of these chocolate orange pancakes the evening before and warm them up for a pancake day breakfast.

We often have American style pancakes as they are so much less time consuming to make than the larger, thinner pancakes that I grew up eating once a year. Once you've got the hang of making these you will want to make them every week rather than once a year!

This pancake day the kids have requested waffles, as they like to be rebellious, but I expect I will be making pancakes too. I think my favourite pancakes have to be the Mincemeat Pancakes that I make at Christmas, so I may rustle a batch of those up on Tuesday as I still have plenty of homemade mincemeat in the pantry.
