Best Fluffy Pancake Recipe

Is there anything better than a stack of warm, fluffy pancakes to start your day?

Whether it’s a cozy weekend morning or a quick weekday breakfast, pancakes just feel like comfort on a plate. If you're tired of flat, greasy pancakes that miss the mark, you're going to love this recipe. It’s the one I make over and over again—and once you try it, I think you’ll see why.

I’m sharing my favorite pancake recipe with you today—the one I always come back to. I’ve tried a bunch of different versions over the years, but this one is hands-down my go-to. It’s super simple to make, uses ingredients I pretty much always have on hand, and the pancakes come out fluffy and delicious every single time. These are soft, thick, and just the right amount of fluffy without being too heavy.

I make these all the time—on slow weekends, busy mornings, even the occasional breakfast-for-dinner night. I’ve tested a few variations over time (like swapping the milk for buttermilk), but honestly, the original is my favorite. That said, if you love buttermilk, feel free to try it out and see how you like it.

If you don’t eat them all in one sitting, these freeze great. Just pop them in the toaster or microwave when you're ready for round two. You can also add mix-ins to the batter before cooking—chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or blueberries are all great options. Chocolate chips are my personal favorite.

Here’s my tried and true pancake recipe. I hope it becomes your go-to, too.
