Course Breakfast, brunch
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

For the pancakes

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk or non-dairy alternative
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Green food coloring

For the toppings

  • Whipped cream store-bought or homemade
  • Green sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly. This will create a buttermilk effect.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk mixture, egg, oil, vanilla extract, and a few drops of green food coloring. Adjust the food coloring to reach your desired shade of green.
  • Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—some lumps are okay.
  • Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  • Stack the pancakes on a plate. Top with a generous amount of whipped cream and a sprinkling of festive green sprinkles.
