Ingredients

1/4 cup granulated sugar (or sweetener)

Steps
Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.
Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that's okay).(The batter will be thick and creamy in consistency. If you find the batter too thick -- doesn't pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup smoothly -- fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency).
Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, or enjoy plain!

Susan on 2025-11-16 (5 stars): Kids loved the pancakes. Enough said.
Patricia F on 2025-11-16 (5 stars): I'm no cook, but even for me this recipe was simple and the pancakes were delicious! I added blueberries to my batter. Best pancakes I have ever tasted.
Magdalena Kozak on 2025-11-16 (5 stars): These are hands-down, the best, the most fluffy and delicious pancakes I have ever made. I have followed the recipe exactly just cut sugar in half since I was adding chocolate chip chips. Amazing! make sure you whip the wet ingredients before adding to the dry ingredients.
Something on 2025-11-15 (5 stars): This pancake recipe is literally the best one that I have ever tried, it is so good and is now the only one that I will most likely use.
Diana Barlow on 2025-11-15 (5 stars): This is our family recipe that we use all the time and it's so good.
Bill on 2025-11-15 (5 stars): Fluff
Marla Pierce on 2025-11-15 (5 stars): I was a little skeptical at first because I have tried many recipes but always disappointed 😔 . but oh my goodness ! They were indeed the fluffiest and most delish ! I then made some with egg replacement and even used vanilla protein Powder and thy were also high and raised and so fluffy 🙏🏼👏🏼 thank you
Sarah V on 2025-11-14 (5 stars): I was dubbed QUEEN PANCAKE after using this recipe today if that tells you anything. I was so skeptical of this recipe when I pulled it up with 20 minutes to get out the door in the morning. But the absurd amount of leavening actually worked great and was undetectable in the final pancake. Easy and delicious—vanilla was a nice addition. Will be my go to recipe over some other big name chefs. Make sure your pan heat is well controlled (looking at you fellow electric friends) because this pancake is THICK and you can’t have the bottom burning while it cooks through. I took a conservative approach to the heat and they came out 100!
Clay on 2025-11-13 (5 stars): Great recipe totally recommend this. It was so good definitely will make this again. These pancakes were so fluffy and delicious awesome job.

Kenneth on 2025-11-10 (5 stars): I followed this recipe exactly and the pancakes were the best I have ever made. I've tried many different recipes over the years and finally found the real deal
asjdkansfksdf on 2025-11-10 (5 stars): i used it for culinary class thanks :)
Jana on 2025-11-09 (5 stars): I am usually a waffle over pancakes gal… but I would choose these pancakes over a waffle any day! By far the best pancakes I have ever had!!
Ali on 2025-11-08 (5 stars): These are the best pancakes I think I've ever had. The vanilla makes such a difference; I could honestly eat them without toppings!
I will note for anyone else that is a tad impatient and may ignore the instruction to let the melted butter cool a bit before combining with the other wet ingredients: if you add cold milk to the hot butter, it can chill the butter into an almost slushy consistency. Just reheat the milk/butter and stir and it'll be good to go!
Jen on 2025-11-07 (5 stars): Amazing 😍
Doug McIntyre on 2025-11-07 (5 stars): I LOVE this recipe! My wife made it a few days ago and they were sooo thick and fluffy. She added chocolate chips and cinnamon. And they were the best pancakes I have ever had! She made them again this morning! I told her she better save this recipe. This is the only pancake recipe we'll be making for now on!! Thank you!!!
Kenneth J. Pesile on 2025-11-06 (5 stars): I've been looking for a really good pancake recipe for many years and now have finally found one. I live alone so I cut the recipe in half, didn't overmix and they were superb. Nothing to add, subtract or substitute. Follow the directions and ingredients and you will be more than happy.
