These came out awesome!! Thanks for the recipe
What is the “secret ingredient” that it mentions?
Never mind. I read through the article-it’s vanilla.
never mind-it’s vanilla
Always have used vanilla in my homemade pancake recipe. I also melt 4 tablespoons of butter, add 1 egg and use brown sugar instead of cane. Whisk together. Then instead of liquid buttermilk, I use powdered, since I would throw away the leftover buttermilk and add it to the dry mixture. For a special treat, I sometimes add Carnation Malt Powder for extra “Malted” flavor. Yummmmm!!
You didn’t say whether you use self rising or plain flour.?
I never saw a response, which flour did you try to use and did it work?
All- purpose
I used run of the mill hard non-bleached flour and they came out wonderful. I never have AP or SR, Cake or baking flour, just straight hard flour.
Well you are adding baking powder so I think it’s self explanatory…
Buttermilk makes it taste over the top!
Thanks for the tip! I will give buttermilk a try.
Let us know how you like it.
Great. Now I’m hungry for pancakes…. guess I’m making these in just a couple of hours.
These are so wonderful! Perfect for when the kids come over and camping! I have used 2 types of eggs, and the duck eggs make it more moist, there is no taste difference either! Thank you for posting this, this will definitely be jotted down in the recipe book!
I’m so glad you enjoyed them, I have never had the chance for cooking with duck eggs before.
The recipe calls for ! egg. The directions say to combine milk and EGGS. I’m confused.
Please advise.
Thank You
the s on the egg was a typo and now it’s fixed.
This recipe turned out way too thick. I had to add an additional 1/2 cup of milk in order for it to be scoop-able. For the first pancake, we had to use a spoon to flatten it out, since it was so thick.
I’m sorry this happened I use this recipe all the time and it never does this. I will test out the recipe again to make sure there isn’t a typo.
I had to add milk as week was crazy thick like cake batter
I had 1% milk so i used that but mine mix was too watery. I had to add more flour but still flat. :/ Great flavor tho!
The recipe didn’t work well when I cooked them the middle wouldn’t cook all the way ?
Cooke them on a lower temperature.
Hi. I just made these and the batter was a little thick for me also. I ended up using a total of 2 cups milk. Otherwise they taste delicious.
This recipe is perfect! I used 1% milk and the pancakes were flavorful and the consistency was splendid! I’ll never buy pre-mix batter again! Thank you for sharing!! 🙂
I found this on Pinterest and have used this recipe time and time again. I always think it’s too watery but later realize it’s fine. My toddler gets so excited when I tell him we’re having pancakes! I do exactly what the recipe calls for.
Yea this didn’t work for us either, the batter was really thick and gummy, similar in consistency to cookie dough. We tried putting them in the pan and they would not spread and ended up adding almost a cup more of milk.
Finally got around to trying this recipe. OMG! It’s DELICIOUS! I knew, before even eating them, that they would be great. They looked better than the other pancakes I’ve made (whether from scratch or from a mix). Even my granddaughter said they taste better. Thank you. This recipe definitely is a keeper!
These are delicious! Going into permanent recipe folder. I made them with diced up apples. Used canola oil instead of melting butter because I was too lazy. Very tasty! Family loved them too.
How many pancakes
did it make?
6-8 pancakes depending on the size you make them.
This is my new go-to recipe for pancakes. I won’t buy a mix anymore after trying these. Only thing I do differently is that I prepare the pancake batter before cooking the bacon and sausage. If the batter sits for a little, the pancakes are even fluffier. And this last time, I forgot to add the melted butter and they still turned out great.
Granddaughter LOVES them. And if she’s happy, Nana’s happy 🙂
We gave up flour (and all carbs) a while ago and thought we’d have a cheat. Tried these and they are really good. Buttery! I don’t use syrup but these don’t need any anyway. Really good!
I’ve always made mediocre pancakes. These were yummy! I did repkace half the milk with Natural Bliss sweet cream coffee creamer. My husband od 22 years told me “Great breakfast!” 3 times…not kidding. Maybe hes just getting old, and forgot if he already told me. Lol
Come across this a few years ago. It’s the best you’ll ever make I promise. To send it over the top I add some buttermilk powder to the mix.
Oh i like the sound of that!
I found these way too salty.
I’m sorry you found these too salty did you only use one teaspoon of salt? If so you can cut that in half.
I only used 1 teaspoon of salt too and it was CRAZY salty. Like inedible.
what type of salt did you use because I only cook with kosher and its never too salty?
does anyone else use whole wheat flour had heavy hot cakes until i used baking powder and baking soda together nice and light
Made these last night for dinner lol, and was told by my Honey that I should never make any other kind of pancake (mix or homemade) ever again! The only change I made was to add in 1 mashed banana cause I love banana pancakes.
I am so glad you loved them 🙂
It was just amazing. I loved them! The vanilla added just that right touch.
Could you use Almond flour in place of regular flour. I’m on a low carb lifestyle and I’m trying to find a pancake recipe that I can make? Thanks for sharing.
You can but it will leave you flatter pancakes.
Best pancakes ever! I didn’t change a thing! I gave our pancakes a sprinkling of cinnamon and powdered sugar before serving–YUM!
Oh good idea ill have to try that next time!
These looks great! It is so much more special to make them yourself for the family!
Thanks for sharing! It is fun to learn new tricks when it comes to pancakes!
