Funfetti Pancakes

If you've been looking for a special birthday breakfast for your littles, this just might be it. It's Funfetti cake mix pancakes with a side of -- as Wilford Brimley might say -- the "diabetus." Yeah, they're unapologetically sweet and colorful and FUN, so knock it off and make 'em for your precious snowflake on her big day. It's only once a year. And don't forget to serve them with a side of bacon, also covered in sprinkles because those little a-holes are everywhere once you crack their seal.

Makes: A load. Like, seriously, you will be pawning these off on passers-by.
Ingredients:
1 box Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix
1 cup flour
2 eggs
2 1/4 c milk

One secret to great pancakes is to make your better well ahead of time and let it rest. Simmer down. You don't HAVE to.

Do we need instructions for pancakes? Well, I'm nothing if not a little touched by OCD, so here goes.
Mix all ingredients. Rest batter, if desired. Heat up a griddle until a drop of water sizzles and dances on it. Butter griddle or spray with nonstick spray. Pour on your batter and wait until you see bubbles on the surface to turn. If your batter is too thick, add milk. If you want to hold them, set your oven to "warm" and keep them in there until ready to serve.

Top your pancakes with whipped cream and sprinkles. I served three per plate and put a little whipped cream between each pancake which made for a new breakfast game we dubbed "Slide-y fall-y pancake mess."

Enjoy the poison.
