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.

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.
