Method
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 4 tsp of baking powder, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Use a whisk to mix them thoroughly until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps in the mixture.
- Next, add the wet ingredients. Pour in 2 1/2 cups of buttermilk, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 beaten egg. Don’t forget to include 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Now it’s time to fold in the fun! Gently add 1/4 cup of Christmas sprinkles to the batter and use a spatula to fold them in without overmixing.
- Preheat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a bit of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. You can make them larger or smaller based on your preferences.
- As the pancakes cook, watch for bubbles to form on the surface. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Once you notice bubbles, it’s time to flip them carefully.
- Cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes until it achieves a golden brown color. Your pancakes should be fluffy and beautifully browned on both sides.
- Once cooked, remove the pancakes from the griddle and stack them on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter until you’ve used it all.
- Now for the fun part! To build your snowman, place a larger pancake at the bottom, a slightly smaller one on top, and finish with the smallest pancake on top.
- Finally, garnish your snowman with whipped cream for the hat and place a cut strawberry on top to resemble a Santa hat. Add more sprinkles for decoration!
