Perfect Fluffy Pancake Recipe
A quick and easy homemade pancake recipe that makes perfect, golden brown, super fluffy pancakes with ingredients you have on hand.
This perfect fluffy pancake recipe uses simple ingredients, no buttermilk is needed! The thick batter creates the fluffiest ever pancake! Top with a pat of butter and maple syrup or a yummy sauce like my 5 Minutes Strawberry Sauce or Easy Sour Cherry Sauce. If you like, add blueberries, bananas, or even chocolate chips to the recipe.
The secret to making the best fluffy pancakes.
- I would recommend using a griddle. A griddle will keep even heat that makes pancakes a perfect golden brown on both sides. The nonstick surface allows the pancake batter to spread evenly and won’t stick. A griddle lets you make several pancakes at once and it is much easier to regulate the temperature than on the stovetop.
- It is important to preheat the griddle and wipe with a bit of olive oil using a paper towel. This helps to give the pancakes that perfect golden brown color.
- Don’t over mix the batter or your pancakes will not rise to be light and fluffy. This batter is thick and should be slightly lumpy.
- I use a ladle to scoop out the batter, using the bottom of the ladle to help spread the batter a bit.
- Don’t flip the pancakes too soon. The bottom side should be a golden brown before flipping and the top will start to form bubbles.
- Keep pancakes warm by placing them on a baking sheet in preheated 200- degree oven.
- Although not as good as freshly made, pancakes will keep in the refrigerator for two days and can also be frozen. Reheat in a toaster or on a baking rack in the oven preheated to 350 degrees.

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!
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.
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!
