- First, I end up not combing my hair the entire day.
- Two, I crave food all day
- and three, I eat breakfast foods even when it is not breakfast.
And what that means is that it is easy to be unstructured some days, like having no exact agenda, or falling out of routines.
This recipe is a family favorite and since I found this, I have never looked at any pancake recipe again. It is simple, basic and definitely yields fluffy pancakes that everyone in my family loves.
Breakfast, lunch or dinner, these pancakes never fail to delight.
Who can ever say no to warm, fluffy pancakes slathered with butter and drizzled with sweet maple syrup? Whatever time of day, you will get a yes from me on this one. Guaranteed.
And let me just say, sometimes, deviating from routines is wonderful. You can just see the excitement of my little girls with this one.
I think this is their favorite deviation. Honestly, it is mine too.

Can buttermilk be used in place of the milk and vinegar?
Hi Darlene, yes you can use buttermilk 🙂
This recipe has become my go to. I make it regularly for my family and extended family members. I have been told numerous times these are the best pancakes ever! The recipe is simple and easy to remember. The recipe works perfect as is, but I have also veganized it with non-dairy milk, a flax egg and earth balance butter replacement, the results were great! It has worked well with almond milk, and cashew milk, but, no sugar added vanilla oat milk produced the best vegan pancakes. I have also added chunks of banana, chocolate, and blueberries on request. Additions and substitutions change the otherwise reliable texture, but they have always turned out great. Thank you for the recipe!
