Ingredients

  • Dry Ingredients:

    • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • ½ tsp baking soda
    • ¼ tsp salt

  • Wet Ingredients:

    • ¾ cup buttermilk
    • ½ cup 2% milk
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 tbsp salted butter, melted and cooled
    • Green food coloring (as needed)

  • Toppings:

    • ⅓ cup 2% milk
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • Whipped cream
    • 1 cup Lucky Charms cereal

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pancake Batter:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • Add buttermilk, milk, egg, and melted butter, mixing until just combined (some lumps are okay).
    • Stir in green food coloring until you reach the desired shade.

  2. Cook the Pancakes:

    • Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
    • Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
    • Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 30-60 seconds.
    • Repeat with the remaining batter.

  3. Make the Sweet Milk Cream:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup of milk and powdered sugar until smooth.

  4. Assemble the Pancakes:

    • Stack pancakes on a plate, drizzle with sweet milk cream, and top with whipped cream.
    • Sprinkle generously with Lucky Charms cereal.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, separate the egg and whip the egg white before folding it into the batter.
  • To keep the cereal crunchy, add it just before serving.
  • Make it dairy-free by using plant-based milk and dairy-free butter.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftover pancakes for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
