I started making pancakes every Saturday when my oldest was about 3 years old. So, at the time of this writing roughly 14 years now. I decided to add this to the site because 1, I needed a place to easily find these recipes, and 2, I get asked by my friends a lot about what recipes are my favorite.

I wasn’t very good at them when I started, it took a lot of trial and error, plus countless recipes to find the “perfect” pancake. (re: Pancakes that turn out well and that my kids will eat.) A couple of tips, don’t overmix the batter. Start with your dry ingredients and then add your wet and combine just enough that they are together and you don’t have to use a scorching hot pan, 325 seems to be the perfect temp. Low and slow. (Bonus Tip, I add chocolate chips to all of these except the Dutch Baby and Lemon Blueberry.)

Here are my “go-to” recipes:

The Best-Ever Fluffy Pancakes

(This is now our go-to recipe, they are pretty much perfect every time.)

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tbs baking powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1tsp salt
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 cup + 2 tbs vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs

After you mix up everything let it sit for 20 or 30 minutes to let the buttermilk and baking soda/power do whatever it does to make it fluffy. It’s science.

Sour Cream Pancakes

(These are Lindsay’s favorite and I make them 90% of the time. I double it for the family)
