Light, Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes with Sprinkles and topped with a Cream Cheese Glaze. The perfect Birthday Pancakes Recipe! A knock-off of the famous IHOP's Cupcake Pancakes.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar, and stir until combined. Add eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter and whisk to combine. The batter should have some lumps.
Heat skillet over medium-low heat. Test for readiness by sprinkling some water on a pan and if it spatters off the griddle, it's hot enough. Add a pat of butter to the pan or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Using a 1/4 to 1/2 cup, pour pancake batter onto pan.
Generously sprinkle each pancake with rainbow sprinkles to cover the entire pancake.
When bubbles appear on top of the pancake, flip to cook the other side. Watch carefully as pancakes can brown quickly. Keep it at a lower heat to ensure that the inside gets cooked through without the outside getting too brown.
Place on a cookie cooling rack to allow for ventilation to keep the pancakes from getting soggy.
Cream Cheese Glaze:
In a bowl, add melted butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Make sure the cream cheese is very softened to allow the glaze to be extra creamy. Add in milk to desired consistency. Mix until no lumps appear.
Stack the sprinkles pancakes and drizzle with cream cheese glaze. Sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles.
