Time 1h

Yield 4 servings (about 12 pancakes)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 2 to 3 tablespoons for cooking the pancakes
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup confetti sprinkles, plus more for sprinkling
Sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the topping: Heat the heavy cream, maple syrup, cream cheese, vanilla and kosher salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking frequently to break up and smooth out the cream cheese, until the mixture just begins to bubble, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover and keep warm.
  • For the pancakes: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and fine salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, butter, eggs and vanilla together in a medium bowl. Add the milk mixture and sprinkles to the flour mixture, and fold until just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps).
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat, add about 1/2 tablespoon butter and let melt. Pour 1/4-cupfuls of batter onto the hot skillet, and cook until the pancakes are lightly golden on the bottom and bubbly on the top, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the pancakes, and cook until lightly golden on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the pancakes to serving plates, stacking them on top of each other if desired, and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Pour the topping over the stacks, and top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkles. Add a birthday candle if you like, and serve the remaining topping on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pancake mix: If you're using a store-bought mix, make sure it's fresh and has no added sugar or other unwanted ingredients. You can also make your own pancake mix from scratch using simple ingredients like flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your pancakes will taste. Use cold milk and eggs, and make sure your butter is unsalted.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the pancakes cook evenly without burning them.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: When you flip the pancakes too often, they'll become dry and tough. Flip them only once, when the edges are dry and bubbles are forming on the surface.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. Top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect pancakes every time. Just remember to use fresh ingredients, don't overmix the batter, cook the pancakes over medium heat, and flip them only once. With these tips, you'll be able to enjoy delicious, fluffy pancakes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
