If Making Pancakes from Store-Bought Mix:
2cupsPancake MixWe use Krusteaz but make according to your brand's directions.
1 ⅓cupsWater
Mix-Ins and Toppings
1cupLucky Charms cereal
2tablespoonsbutterused for melting in frying pan or griddle
2cupsGhirardelli white chocolate baking chips
1tablespoongreen sprinklesOptional, or desired color!
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and sugar.
Next, add in the milk, egg, 3 tbsp. melted butter and vanilla.
Using a whisk, lightly mix the batter blending the ingredients. Do not overmix. Lumps are good!
Pour in the one cup of Lucky Charms cereal and gently stir to combine.
Melt a tablespoon of butter in the pan over low-medium heat (unless using griddle and it's large enough to fit more pancakes, then you'll want to melt enough butter to coat the cooking surface.)
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out a scoop and a half of batter to make one pancake.
When bubbles start to form on top of cooking pancakes, it's time to flip to the other side.
Cook an additional two minutes until the bottom is a light golden brown, and the centers look cooked.
Remove panakes from cooking surface and stack them on top of one another, on a plate or serving dish, to retain the heat while remaining pancakes cook.
One all pancakes are cooked, you can top with your favorite syrup and serve.
White Chocolate Syrup
Following the package directions, gently melt the chocolate chips. If melting in the microwave, it's usually recommended to place chips in a microwavable bowl, and cook for 2 minutes on half-power, stopping every 30 seconds to stir. DO NOT OVER COOK THE CHIPS as they'll scorch and burn.
Once chocolate has melted and is smooth, pour in most of the sprinkles and stir to combine.
Pour syrup over pancakes, quickly, before chocolate hardens, and sprinkle with remaining sprinkles and/or Lucky Charms.
Notes
StorageIf you have leftover pancakes, it's best to store them, without syrup, in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
