Enjoy light and tender Fluffy Pancakes made with simple ingredients. A breakfast favorite everyone will love at any time!PERFECT PANCAKES IN 20 MINUTESThese fluffy pancakes are a breakfast (or breakfast for dinner!) favorite youll want to make again and again. They cook up soft and light, with just the right amount of sweetness. The batter comes together quickly using simple ingredients you probably already have on hand. You can enjoy them plain or dress them up with syrup, fruit, or whipped cream. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:My pancakes always turn out flat and tough, what am I doing wrong? The key to Fluffy Pancakes is really not to overwork the batter (this develops the gluten in the flour which makes for tougher, dense pancakes.) Its okay for there to be lumps in the batter. Also, make sure youre not over measuring the flour too. Just the old dip and scoop method. Too much flour can ruin a good batch of pancakes. Finally, let the batter rest for a bit before using is also helpful. Just make the batter then let it sit as the griddle or pan warms up. Do I need a griddle? I find using an electric griddle helpful because I can make a few at a time and I can keep the temperature regulated easier. But if you dont have a griddle, you can obviously still make these on the stove top with a skillet. Just keep a close eye on the temperature. Over time, the skillet will continue to get hotter and hotter the longer its on the heat so youll need to sometimes turn it down to keep it at a consistent temperature. What can I add to the pancake batter? A popular choice is chocolate chips (I like to use the mini kind/) You can add in diced berries or other flavored chips like cinnamon or dark chocolate. Can I make these ahead of time? You can make the batter the night before and place, covered, in the fridge. What if I dont have buttermilk? If youre out of buttermilk, dont fret. Just make some homemade. To do this, mix 1 Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice with 1 cup of milk. Mix and use. Regular buttermilk is preferred but this should work in a pinch. What to serve with Fluffy Pancakes? Fluffy Pancakes go great with my homemade Breakfast Sausage. Of course, you cant go wrong with some eggs and bacon. How do I keep leftovers? You can keep the pancakes in the fridge for up to 3 days. Place a piece of parchment paper between each pancake. Can you freeze Fluffy Pancakes? You can make the pancakes and freeze them for up to 3 months.This is also a great recipe to make a double batch of and freeze the rest so you can pull them out whenever you need to. I recommend flash freezing so they dont stick together when trying to pack them up.

NotesPlease refer to my FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.Its super important that you do not overmeasure the flour. If you just put a measuring cup into a flour bag and pack the flour into the measuring cup, you will end up with way too much flour and this recipe will not turn out. Instead, take a spoon, and spoon the flour into your measuring cup (do not pack it down.) Then once it is overfull, take the flat side of a butter knife and scoop off the excess flour.I like to use an electric griddle to keep it at just the right temperature. You can do this using a skillet, just try to keep it a consistent temperature as it will continue to get hotter the longer it is on the heat if youre not careful.
