Ingredients

For the pancakes

1 cup pancake mix I used Krusteaz
1 cup yellow cake mix I used Pillsbury
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 cup milk
3-4 tablespoons sprinkles

For the vanilla glaze

2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup heavy whipping cream or more if needed

Toppings

Sprinkles
Whipped cream or Cool Whip
Maraschino cherries if desired

Instructions

For the vanilla glaze

Prepare vanilla glaze first. Stir together the sugar, cream and vanilla in a medium bowl. It should be of pouring consistency. Add more cream if it's too thick. Cover bowl and set aside.

For the pancakes

Whisk together the pancake mix and cake mix in a large bowl. Add eggs and milk. Stir until just combined. It might be a little lumpy. (You don't want to over mix it.) Fold in sprinkles.
Pour ⅓ cup of batter onto a lightly greased, preheated griddle or nonstick frying pan. Swirl batter around to make it round, if needed. Repeat several more times until you have no more room on the griddle or frying pan. When you see little bubbles form, flip the pancakes (about a minute). Fry the other side of the pancakes for 30-60 seconds or until golden brown.
Serve pancakes with vanilla glaze, whipped cream or Cool Whip and sprinkles. Add a cherry on top, if desired.
