Best Ever Fluffy Pancakes

By Courtney 32 Comments

Looking for the best every fluffy pancake recipe? Well look no further…I’ve got you covered!

**************

Every once in a while, I like to make breakfast for dinner. Not only are the meals usually easy to put together, with ingredients we always have on hand, there’s something very comforting when you end your day with a plate of pancakes and eggs instead of beginning it.

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes

(Looking for more options? Here is my recipe index!)

Pancakes may be simple, but we all have different ideas about what makes them delicious.

  • Soft and fluffy? Or dense and chewy?
  • Plain? Or packed with fruit, chocolate or topped with fresh whipped cream?
  • A stack of silver dollar pancakes? Or one giant cake that covers a dinner plate?

I asked my readers to share their go-to recipes, and Emily recommended the Good Old-Fashioned Pancakes found here.

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes

As usual, I made a few changes to the original recipe, in addition to adding the recommended vanilla, as per Emily’s instructions.

Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life

Yields 10 pancakes, about 2-1/2" diameter

Best Ever Fluffy Pancakes

Soft, fluffy, and totally delicious. These pancakes are my go-to for when we're making them from scratch. Add them to your Sunday morning routine, and the whole family will be thrilled!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Bob’s Red Mill Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (you can also do all all-purpose)
  • 3-1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp white sugar
  • 1-1/4 cup vanilla almond milk (any milk would work)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup egg substitute (or 1 egg)
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted
  • Optional: blueberries, chocolate chips, or anything else you can think of!

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, vanilla, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
  2. Heat a griddle sprayed with non-stick cooking spray over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot. ENJOY!

I was so impressed by just how light and fluffy these babies were! I definitely agree that sifting the flour makes a big difference in the “fluff ratio.”

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes

I added blueberries to about half of the pancake batter, and those were by far my favorite out of the bunch.

On the side, I had somewhere between 1/4 – 1/2 cup Egg Beaters (whatever was left in the carton), which hubby prepared, also mixing in some fresh chives. YUM! And of course, a little ketchup to go on top.

Along with my eggs, I housed four pancakes, drizzled with some light maple syrup, and I enjoyed every.last.bite!

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes

So believe it or not, we actually ate dinner AND finished the dishes all before 6:00. That’s practically unheard of in this house.

    I totally allow myself to indulge for bigger occasions. I'll actually plan it out though, making adjustments in my diet in anticipation (i.e., salad for lunch to save carbs for a big dinner). Looks like you did the same. ;)

    Had saved your recipe and just made these pancakes along with pear and chocolate chips added to the batter. The recipe is a keeper, I'd never eaten pancakes so fluffy!
