Make delicious homemade pancakes from scratch with my Perfect Fluffy Pancake Recipe.
This basic pancake recipe uses simple ingredients, most of which you usually have on hand. You can also add blueberries, bananas or other fruit to the recipe. I love my pancakes topped with my Easy Sour Cherry Sauce or 5 Minute Strawberry Sauce. One kitchen appliance I would recommend investing in is a griddle. A griddle is so much easier to regulate the temperature and get nice golden brown pancakes on both sides.

Easy Sour Cherry Sauce and 5 Minute Strawberry Sauce are quick to whip up and taste incredible on pancakes.
I made these they were great.
thank you Ashley!
Is the batter supposed to be pretty thick? It takes a bit to pour into skillet?
Yes Katy, batter is suppose to be quite thick, makes for great fluffy pancakes.
Delish! I used half and half instead of milk. I used butternut vanilla extract. Also a dash of cinnamon. Family said I beat the pancake pantry;) so yummy!
Thank you Robin, nothing beats pancakes for breakfast!!

My kids loved it.
Thank you Eileen, so awesome when kids love a new recipe!
Amazing recipe. I added brown sugar and they were the highlight of the morning for my kids
Thank you Neyamavu, brown sugar is a tasty touch. Glad the kids enjoyed them!
I made these with full fat yogurt lol since I had no milk. I added some water to make the batter thinner. Best pancakes I’ve ever made and I had a recipe I adored before. Thanks. 5 stars.
thanks Vero, love the idea of trying yogurt!
Omg these are my new favorite! I added a bit more milk to mine as I like them fluffy but it was too thick for me. The texture was so yummy!
Awesome Heather, I love making these for weekend brunch.
Now those are good pancakes! They were light and fluffy I did add a touch more milk because the batter was to thick and they were berry fluffy!
Wonderful Bec, thanks for taking the time to comment and rate my recipe. Take good care!
Yummy. We loved them. I’ll never buy pancake mix again. 😊
Wonderful! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment and rate my recipe!
Made these today 3-28-2020. No mix in the house and being quarantined for COVID-19. Did not want to go to grocery store. Found this recipe and it was great. Will never buy mix again 🥰
Thank you Carolyn for taking the time to comment. Aren’t pancakes great for the simple ingredients they need.
Yes, these pancakes were the best. I’m wondering if this recipe would work for waffles as well?
Hi Carolyn, I haven’t tried but I don’t think this would work as a waffle recipe.
These are amazing!! Taste like cracked barrels!!!
Thank you kindly Ashley!
What a way to start the day with such a delicious recipe! I’ve never written a review/rating but the entire time I was eating these delights I was thinking I have to do so. Everyone loves them. I will get the word out to family and friends to make this! Have a Happy Day!
Thank you kindly Roni for taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate it. Glad your family enjoyed the recipe!
I made these as a Mother’s Day breakfast and they were delicious and turned out beautifully. I added fresh blueberries to them.
Thank you Andrea, fresh blueberries would have made them extra tasty!
Great pancakes!!! I had always done the box but ran out so I found this recipe! So yummy and simple. No need for a box.
thank you Phoebe. Much appreciated that you took the time to rate and comment on my recipe!
OMG!! The best pancakes I have ever-ever made. I have tried other recipes and of course premade mixes and never got it right. However, my previous bricks, dry, thin, or choker thick pancakes have been given the boot! For the first time I was proud of my batch thanks to this recipe. I used buttermilk! Amazing!!!!
