  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • Additional Betty Crocker™ Rainbow Sprinkles, if desired

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or electric griddle to 350°F. (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.)
  • Step 
    2
    In medium bowl, whisk together pancake ingredients until blended.
  • Step 
    3
    Brush griddle with vegetable oil or shortening. For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook until golden brown. Remove from griddle to serving plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Step 
    4
    In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until well blended. If too thick to drizzle, add additional milk 1/2 teaspoon at a time for desired drizzling consistency.
  • Step 
    5
    To serve, top each pancake with glaze and additional candy sprinkles.
