# Instructions:

01 - Combine the flour, sugar, sprinkles, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until well mixed.
02 - In a second bowl, stir together the buttermilk, avocado oil, egg, almond essence, and vanilla extract until blended.
03 - Add the wet mix into the dry mix. Stir gently until combined. Leave it 10 minutes to settle.
04 - Stir together your powdered sugar, heavy cream, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until you get a thick, smooth texture.
05 - Warm up a lightly greased skillet on low-medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook a couple minutes per side, flipping once, until golden.
06 - Drizzle the icing over the pancakes while warm. Add extra sprinkles and some whipped cream if you want to go all out!

02 - Replace oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
03 - Clear vanilla gives an authentic sweet look.
