I'm thinking of making pancakes tomorrow morning for breakfast and wanted to try something new. There are tons of recipes on line and some look like they would work better than others. I don't want to waste our time and happy expectations of yummy pancakes on something that won't turn out...
What is your go to favorite recipe?

Our very favorite is a box mix Seriously. It's a somewhat local brand, Dakota Maid Buttermilk Pancake and Waffle mix. All you do is add water. I make the batter thinner than the box calls for because we prefer thinner pancakes. I used to make them from scratch but we really do like these best. The best part is they're so easy. Add water and cook.

Joy of Cooking - one of the few recipes I use from this book and the only one I know by heart.
Whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 3 tbsp sugar, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt in a bowl. In another bowl whisk 1 1/2 cups milk, 3 tbsp melted butter, 2 large eggs, 1/2 tsp vanilla (optional - I always add it). Pour wet into dry and stir until just combined.
If you want to add whatever fruit, nuts, chocolate, etc., and cook.

1 1/4 c all purpose flour 1 egg 1 1/4 c butter milk 1/4 c sugar 1 t baking soda 1 t baking powder 1/4 c melted butter 1 t vanilla
My kids call them better than IHOP pancakes. I grew up on Aunt Jemima just add water, or Bisquick (we called them Bisquick bricks), and these are so much better. Don't over mix the batter, or they get a little spongy.

Carbon's Malted Pancake and Waffle Mix. This has been our favorite for waffles for years, but we don't like it for pancakes. Do you do anything special/ different than the directions call for, when you make pancakes? My waffles are always light and fluffy, but my pancakes are pan plates, as my kids call them.

I love this for pancakes. Elaine is the one who gave this hint a few months ago. The one thing that I do different is I use almond milk. That is all we buy now. I have not tried waffles yet. I need to dig out the waffle maker and try.

I beat my eggs very well before adding the milk, beat them again, and then add the flour. I have never had a problem with them being heavy. Maybe altitude or water differences?

Thanks. Unfortunately DD is allergic to tree nuts, and DS and I are allergic to coconut, so cows milk alternatives are harder for us. The thinner milk would make sense for lighter pancakes. I think I'll try 1 or 2% cows milk. I grew up with the milk man delivering local milk, and I still use whole milk, and cream. I don't mind making pancakes from scratch, but when 7 varsity basketball players show up, after a 5 am practice. that rolled into teaching the summer kids camp until 11...They want "Mama" to make brunch for them, and I like a nice short cut.

Are your pancakes (US) different to our pancakes (UK)? I just get a bowl - flour (125g off the top of my head) and pinch of salt, add an egg and milk (1/2 pint) and whisk together. Variety comes from the toppings. ETA - just googled a bit....I see you prefer puffy pancakes so you add a raising agent

I have been making these Alton Brown pancakes for years. You may have to add additional buttermilk depending on the brand. Kroger brand is very thick in comparison to some of the brand names. They turn out yummy every time.

So our mix would have sugar and vanilla in it probably. They are also fluffy/airy and less dense.

Our favourite sweet filling is just lemon juice and sugar sprinkled on top......or chocolate spread inside. They're also lovely with savoury fillings like fish in a white sauce. I'll have to try your style

I love both types of pancakes, we had American style pancakes with blueberries, raspberries and strawberries for breakfast. My very favourite is our pancakes with just lemon juice and sugar though!

I have tried tons of recipes for home made pancakes and none end up that great
I am not one who usually likes wheat in things (ex wheat pizza crust)
But these oatmeal/wheat pancakes from mels kitchen café are our favorite.
oatmeal pancakes
Also try making buttermilk syrup. Not healthy but so delicious

Yes, we call them crepes too - when we're feeling posh

1 cup of self rising flour 1 cup of milk 1 egg
This is my MIL's recipe and it's simple and delicious. I usually double it for our family of 4. One batch makes 6-8 pancakes. MIL scoops the flour with her cup measure, so the flour is packed pretty tight. The first few times I made it my batter was too thin. I realized I was measuring flour the baking way buy scooping with a spoon and sweeping while MIL scoops flour with the cup essentially using more flour than I was.

They turn out yummy every time. Have you ever tried using powdered buttermilk? Curious how that would turn out. I always have powdered buttermilk on hand but I never have regular buttermilk. I hate to buy it because I use whatever a recipe calls for one time and the rest ends up getting thrown away.

My recipe wouldn't do you any good unless you live around 5,000 to 9,000 feet above sea level! I make buttermilk pancakes and waffles from scratch. In fact, we have waffles for breakfast this mornings. On a posting above, someone said our pancakes in the US are sweet and have sugar and vanilla. I've never seen a "regular" pancake recipe that was sweet. Maybe blueberry or other but not regular. You put the sweet stuff on TOP!
