Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for the griddle
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips (for eyes and antlers)
- Small red candies or berries (like cranberries or red M&Ms for noses)
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Heat a lightly buttered griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
- Immediately place two chocolate chips on top of the wet batter for the eyes and two curved lines of melted chocolate or small pieces for the antlers.
- Place one red candy or berry in the center for the nose.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your cute reindeer creations.
Notes
- For extra brown noses, use fresh cranberries.
- You can use buttermilk instead of regular milk for fluffier pancakes.
- Melt white chocolate chips and use a toothpick to draw the eyes if you prefer a different look.
- Keep the finished pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the rest.
