Ingredients

Pancakes

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups buttermilk divided
  • 1/8 teaspoon green gel food coloring

Glaze

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • green gel food coloring

Sprinkles

  • red heart sprinkles

Instructions

Pancakes

  • Heat electric nonstick griddle to 250 degrees and adjust as needed.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a smaller mixing bowl, combine butter, eggs, vanilla and 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and stir to combine. Use remaining buttermilk to adjust consistency as needed. Stir in green food coloring a little at a time until desired color is reached.
  • Pour pancake batter onto griddle using a 1/4 cup measuring cup. Cook 5-7 minutes, or until bubbles start to form and edges are set. Flip and finish cooking.

Glaze

  • Beat together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar, then add milk until a spoonable consistancy is reached.

Whipped Cream

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Add green food coloring a little at a time until desired color is reached. Transfer to piping bag fitted with open star tip. You can also use a plastic baggie if you don't have a piping bag.
  • Assemble pancakes by spooning glaze on top, then adding green whipped cream and red heart sprinkles.
