This easy recipe makes perfect fluffy pancakes!
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. This recipe makes batter that is thick, which creates a perfect, fluffy pancake. 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.

Is the batter supposed to be pretty thick? It takes a bit to pour into skillet?
Laureen King
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!

Amazing recipe. I added brown sugar and they were the highlight of the morning for my kids
Laureen King
Thank you Neyamavu, brown sugar is a tasty touch. Glad the kids enjoyed them!
Vero
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.
Laureen King
thanks Vero, love the idea of trying yogurt!
Heather
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!
Laureen King
Awesome Heather, I love making these for weekend brunch.
Bec
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!
Laureen King

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 🥰
Laureen King
Thank you Carolyn for taking the time to comment. Aren’t pancakes great for the simple ingredients they need.
Carolyn Holmes
Yes, these pancakes were the best. I’m wondering if this recipe would work for waffles as well?
Laureen King
Hi Carolyn, I haven’t tried but I don’t think this would work as a waffle 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!!!!
