Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and nutmeg if using.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, butter, and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk just until incorporated.
Stir in the sprinkles.
Heat a non-stick griddle to 325 degrees, or place a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a little butter, if desired. Scoop pancake batter by the scant 1/2 cup full onto griddle or pan.
Cook until the pancakes begin to look a little dry around the edges and start to form bubbles, about 1 - 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute or so until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
Top with whipping cream, sprinkles, and a birthday candle. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
