FAQs
1. Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Absolutely! Prepare the batter the night before and refrigerate it for a quick morning breakfast. Just give it a gentle stir before cooking.
2. Can I substitute buttermilk with regular milk?
While buttermilk contributes to the pancakes’ tenderness, you can use regular milk. Consider adding a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to mimic the acidity of buttermilk.
3. Why are my pancakes turning out dense?
Overmixing the batter can lead to dense pancakes. Mix until the ingredients are just combined to maintain the desired fluffiness.
4. How do I keep pancakes warm for serving?
Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a warm oven (around 200°F or 93°C) while preparing the rest to keep them warm and fluffy.
5. Can I freeze leftover pancakes?
Absolutely! Layer cooled pancakes with parchment paper, place them in a zip-top bag, and freeze. Reheat in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.

Best Fluffy Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 1 stick butter melted and cooled
- 2 & 1/2 cups flour spooned and leveled
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 cup milk I used whole milk
- 2 eggs separated
- bacon grease for frying (butter works too)
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 170 degrees F, sometimes called the “keep warm” setting.
- Get out 3 bowls: large, medium, and small.
- Add the butter to the large bowl and microwave until it is melted. Set aside to cool a little bit.
- In the medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Add the buttermilk and milk to the melted butter.
- Separate the eggs: add the whites to the small bowl and the yolks to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Whisk in the yolks.
- Use a small whisk of fork to beat the egg whites a little bit, just 20 seconds or so until they start getting a little bubbly. It will help them fold in evenly.
- Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir roughly with a wooden spoon. Don’t overdo it! Just barely combine it. There should still be streaks for flour. See photos.
- Beat the egg whites a little then add them to the batter. Fold in gently. It’s okay if there are still streaks of egg white.
- Heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat.
- When it is hot, smear a little bacon grease over the griddle.
- Scoop the batter using a half cup measurement.
- When bubbles on top start to pop, flip the pancakes. They should be a nice golden brown.
- Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until they are golden on both sides.
- Remove the pancakes to a cooking rack and keep warm in the oven that you turned on.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve with lots of butter and syrup. And peanut butter.
