Why This Recipe Stands Out We love pancakes, and we love celebrating, so it’s no surprise that we’re head over heels for these Funfetti Pancakes. Here’s why we’re all about this recipe: No Box Mix: We’re all about easy homemade recipes, and these pancakes are just that. No box mix required! Made from Scratch: No boxed cake mix means you get the best from-scratch flavor in every bite. Fluffy and Moist: These pancakes are based on our all-time, fail-proof Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes recipe, so you know they’re good. Great for Birthdays These pancakes are the perfect way to start a birthday, whether it’s for a little one or a grown-up. Key Recipe Ingredients Whole Milk – Whole milk gives these pancakes a rich and creamy texture, and when combined with lemon juice, it acts as a buttermilk substitute, adding a slight tanginess to the batter. Butter – The melted salted butter adds a rich, buttery flavor to the pancakes, and it also helps to keep them moist and tender. Sprinkles – Color sprinkles are what make these pancakes so fun and festive. We’ve used all types and found that jimmies bleed less. Substitutions And Variations Here are some of our favorite substitutions and variations: Flour: If you prefer a different kind of flour, you can try using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour. Sprinkles: Feel free to change up the sprinkles to match any occasion. If you’re making these pancakes for a holiday, use holiday-themed sprinkles. Extract: Instead of vanilla extract, you can use other options such as almond extract to change up the flavor of your pancakes. Step-By-Step Recipe Instructions Combine milk and lemon juice in a bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another. Combine wet and dry ingredients, then fold in sprinkles gently. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto a greased skillet over medium heat and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter and serve with desired toppings. For full list of ingredients and instructions, see recipe card below. How To Prep Ahead Take a look at our top prep-ahead strategies for this recipe: Make the Buttermilk: Combine the milk and lemon juice and allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. It will curdle while it sits. This can be done a couple of hours in advance (place back in fridge after the 10 minutes). Pre-Mix Dry Ingredients: You can make the pancake mix ahead of time by combining the dry ingredients in a bowl. Store this mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a month. When you’re ready to make the pancakes, add the wet ingredients and proceed with recipe. A stack of Funfetti Pancakes is sure to make anyone’s day! It’s great as breakfast-for-dinner too. Commonly Asked Questions What type of sprinkles are best for funfetti pancakes? For this recipe, it’s best to use jimmies or confetti-style sprinkles. Nonpareil sprinkles tend to bleed their color more. How do you ensure super fluffy and tender pancakes? Tougher pancakes are usually the result of over-mixing and over-cooking which can cause the gluten in the flour to overdevelop. To avoid this, be sure to only mix the batter until most of the larger lumps are gone (some remaining small lumps are fine) and cook the pancakes on a moderate heat. Can I make the batter in advance? You can prep the dry and wet ingredients separately the night before, but don’t mix them until you’re ready to cook. Once combined, the leaveners start working, and if the batter sits too long, your pancakes won’t be as fluffy. How long do Funfetti pancakes keep? Funfetti pancakes can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days. Be sure to store them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.

Fold milk mixture into the flour mixture, folding and stirring just until most of the lumps are gone (it's ok to have a little bit of small lumps left.) Don't over-mix.Very gently fold sprinkles into batter right before cooking.Heat 2-3 TB oil in a large frying pan or griddle over medium heat. When oil is moderately heated through, carefully pour batter by 1/4 cup rounds into skillet. Carefully monitor the pancakes, flipping them over with a large spatula once bubbles start to form over the top surface. Adjust the heat accordingly so as not to over-brown. Repeat until all batter is used up.Serve warm with additional sprinkles, fresh whipped cream, maple syrup, or sliced fruit. Notes Allow the milk and lemon juice mixture to sit for 10 minutes. This is an important step, as it allows the milk to fully curdle to make buttermilk.  Gently fold the sprinkles into the batter just before cooking. This will prevent the colors from bleeding too much and keep your pancakes looking vibrant. Some types of sprinkles can bleed color into the batter more easily than others. We’ve used all types and found that jimmies bleed less. Nonpareil dot-style sprinkles can bleed more.  Preheat your frying pan or griddle and use a moderate amount of oil for cooking. This will help your pancakes cook evenly and get a lovely golden color. This recipe is part of our Breakfast & Brunch Recipes Collection.

By James “Hollywood” Macecari – Insane Throttle Biker News A sentence of 15 years with 10 suspended was handed down to Aaron Karp of Naples Maine on April 10th 2025. Aaron Karp is a member of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club in Maine. The news coverage of an incident where the Outlaws confronted the FSU gang is terrible. The facts of the case are being reported in the news with bias as usual. The only thing being reported right now is that the Outlaws MC is a gang that everyone should fear. The incident happened July 30th, 2024. 54-year-old Susan McHugh was shot in the chest where she died at the hospital. The prosecutors claimed that she fired at the Outlaws in order to protect her husband. My sincere condolences go out to the family of Susan McHugh. I hate seeing someone killed and the family loosing their loved one. 3 others were reportedly injured as well. Prosecutors stated that they believe the deal they gave Aaron Karp was the best they were going to get. That justice has not been served. I beg to differ with his opinion, especially since the victim fired the first shots. How The Shooting of Susan McHugh Started The chain of events that led to the shooting of Susan McHugh started with members of the FSU street gang taking colors from a Christian club. This happened in full view of the cameras at Brookside Bar. These gangbangers decided it was their duty to intimidate and violently take colors from this club. You can see the news report and the actual video of the gang taking the colors in the provided video below. A Christian motorcycle club is not an organization that is going to cause trouble. Christian clubs are organizations who have Jesus and his teachings first and foremost in their minds. These types of clubs share a bond of brotherhood and sisterhood through their beliefs. I’ve heard many ask, “Why didn’t they fight back?” I get it, you’re a man before the patch, but members of Christian clubs believe in turning the other cheek. A Christian Motorcycle Club is not equipped to fight against a street gang. Once the colors were taken – I guess the Higher Calling members reached out to the Outlaws MC. This exactly what they should’ve done since they were a support club. FSU is a known violent street gang. The following is an excerpt of one of their confrontations. In 2014, another major brawl occurred in Cleveland, Ohio. Allegedly, the reason for the fight was tension between FSU members and members of another hardcore crew called “Swing On Sight Family” (6). The festival called “Fire Fest” booked bands affiliated with FSU and bands affiliated with SOSF, causing tension at the festival. A witness stated that 50 to 100 men were armed with machetes and guns. Everyone was fighting in the street outside the venue until someone fired shots in the air, resulting in everyone dispersing and fleeing. This brawl resulted in the hospitalization of 5 people and the arrest of 23 others (6). Elgin James also faced federal extortion charges in 2009 that involved FSU (6). Modern Insurgent This is just one of the incidents that involved the FSU street gang. The FBI put out a bulleting on this street gang in Chicago. The Outlaws would’ve known of the FSU reputation and were fully justified in my opinion to bring the weapons they did. They were there to get the patch back that was stolen from one of their support clubs. The prosecutors claimed that she fired at the Outlaws in order to protect her husband. Ariana St Pierre, WGME Outlaws Vs FSU From the video of the shooting you can hear the first shot came from Susan McHugh. It was then that Aaron Karp returned fire. It was claimed that she shot first because the Outlaws jumped three members of the FSU. I don’t see those three members as victims. The victims was the members of the Higher Calling MC. FSU beat them people and stole from them. It was the Outlaws that were trying to make things right. With the history of the FSU I think they were in the right to bring those weapons. They were right to lay a beat down on them before they pulled out weapons. The moment shots were fired I also believe that Aaron Karp had every right to fire back at the shooter. If someone is firing a gun at you than you have no other option than to fire back at the one shooting at you. It’s unfortunate someone had to die but this was not caused by the Outlaws. Prosecutors said this was the best they could do It the coverage of the sentencing, the prosecutor was upset. He claimed that justice had not been served. I agree with him. Aaron Karp shouldn’t of gotten any time because it was clearly self defense. His lawyer even said as much so I’m left wondering why he didn’t take it to the box. Maybe Aaron Karp just wanted it over with I guess. But for that prosecutor to say justice wasn’t served is laughable. What happened I wonder to those three that stole the vest of a member of a Christian motorcycle club? Besides Karp six other members of the Outlaws will be tried together. They face a variety of charges including elevated aggravated assault. There is no date set for them yet as of this report. With the history of the FSU I think they were in the right to bring those weapons. They were right to lay a beat down on them before they pulled out weapons. James Hollywood Macecari I’m hoping that the remainder of the Outlaws get a fair trial. It is almost a sure bet the prosecutors will try the Outlaws Motorcycle Club instead of the six. They’re going to weave a web of chaos and destruction for the jury in order to get a conviction. It won’t matter that there is video evidence of what the FSU members did. All that’s going to matter is putting the Outlaws on trial and getting a conviction. This isn’t justice in my opinion. This was clearly a self defense case and if anything the three members who stole the colors should be the ones in jail. Let me know what you all think. If the Outlaws or FSU would like to make a statement you can by emailing me at info@insanethrottlebikernews.com .

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested the owner of a New Jersey sushi restaurant accused of spying for China. Ming Xi Zhang, the 61-year-old owner of Ya Ya Noodles in Montgomery Township, New Jersey, was arrested on March 24th in Newark and placed in an ICE detention center. Owner of NJ sushi joint nabbed by ICE after being convicted of spying for China https://t.co/Nza77I9Nso pic.twitter.com/OrVr0R9DZ3 — New York Post (@nypost) April 12, 2025 From the New York Post: Zhang was convicted in April 2024 of acting as an unregistered agent of the Chinese government and sentenced to three years’ probation. In May 2021, he pleaded guilty to having served as an agent of China in 2016 without notifying the U.S. Attorney General. ICE says he legally entered the U.S. in 2000 but later “violated the terms of his lawful admission.” “Any illegal alien conducting activities related to espionage, sabotage or export control against the United States is subject to deportation,” said ICE Newark Field Office Director John Tsoukaris. Zhang met with Chinese security officials in the Bahamas in 2016 and delivered $35,000 to an unnamed individual in New Jersey, according to NJ.com. He also admitted to twice hosting a Chinese government agent at his Princeton home that fall. He’s being held at the Elizabeth Detention Center awaiting immigration proceedings, a worker at his restaurant told the Post on Saturday.

Shipp. That concluded a case that’s allegations dated to nearly a decade ago. The foreign agent charge stemmed from April 2016, when Zhang met in the Bahamas with representatives of the Chinese Ministry of State Security on multiple occasions, according to his written plea agreement. Those agents directed Zhang to obtain $35,000 and provide it to “another individual” who was not named in the paperwork. A month later, Zhang gave the cash as instructed during a meeting in Skillman, the neighborhood in Montgomery where his restaurant is located. Zhang also admitted to twice hosting an agent of the Chinese government at his Princeton home that fall. Court records offered few further details, and did not reveal whether others were also prosecuted. They show Zhang cooperated with authorities, waiving an indictment and pleading guilty in May 2021, a month after the charges were filed.
