Birthday Cake Pancakes

Makes about 12 Pancakes
1 1/2-cups all purpose flour
1- cup yellow cake mix
3- Tablespoons sugar
1- teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
2- eggs
2- teaspoons almond extract
3- tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2- cups of milk
assorted sprinkles
Combine flour, cake mix, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl and mix. Add 1 cup of milk, eggs, oil and almond extract; stir until smooth. Add the rest of the milk as needed, you want the batter to be like regular pancake batter; not too thin or too thick. The type of cake mix you use will determine how much milk you will need. Feel free to even add more milk if necessary.
Preheat skillet or griddle to medium heat. Fold desired amount of sprinkles into batter right before cooking. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake into skillet and cook until bubbles form on top, 2-3 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook 1 minute more.
You can serve with a vanilla glaze, regular maple syrup or my favorite left over buttercream frosting thinned with corn syrup.
Buttercream Syrup
Mix: 1/4- cup buttercream frosting with 1/2 cup corn syrup, more or less corn syrup for a good pouring consistency. I warm my buttercream in the microwave 20-30 seconds before adding corn syrup which helps with mixing and to get the right thickness to pour.
Glaze
1-cup powdered sugar
1-teaspoon almond extract
1-2 Tablespoons of milk 
Use what ever type syrup, or glaze you prefer, pour over pancakes and add sprinkles and enjoy!
