Instructions

Pancakes

  1. Heat electric nonstick griddle to 250 degrees and adjust as needed.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

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

Whipped Cream

  1. 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.

  2. Assemble pancakes by spooning glaze on top, then adding green whipped cream and red heart sprinkles.
