Fluffy Pancakes Recipe

Reviewed on Apr. 04, 2013 by shellabe1974

Theses are the best pancakes I have ever made! The kids and husband love them. The only thing I did to this recipe was added buttermilk just enough to make it more pourable. I have tried a lot of recipes and nothing compares to this one.

I added frozen blueberries to the dry ingredients before adding the liquid. Had to add more milk as my husband doesn't like them so thick and heavy.

This recipe looked simple and easy few ingredients and I thought, great, versitile too. I tried whole wheat flour instead of the white flour but it made the dough more firm like muffin batter. I ended up making it as muffins but I'll try again with white flour. I don't know what happened to the batter - did anybody try whole wheat flour? Please help with suggestions!

Yours truely,

Have tried these now with several substitutes for the shortening - oil, canned pumpkin, sweet potato, applesauce & cinnamon, baby food fruit purees and all work great! Very versatile! Also buttermilk makes them even fluffier. These are our go to pancakes and loved by my toddler!

Very good recipe! I used white wheat flour and coconut crystals in place of sugar. Also added vanilla and cinnamon.

Make sure to warm up your milk and to 'temper' the egg and butter so it doesn't congeal.

My two-year-old and I really enjoyed these this morning. Only alteration I made was adding a little vanilla extract. Otherwise, we kept it simple and as is. Delicious!

This was the best recipe ever for pancakes! I tried one morning and the kids loved them. I just need to double the recipe this time because it was not enough last time.

Because of my sight, I am always leery about cooking certain foods; I cannot see down so I don't know if they are cooked...These pancakes were very good and a big confidence booster-Thanks!

This is my new favorite pancake recipe! Very few ingredients, easy to make....but so GOOD. Pancakes are super fluffly (much fluffier than the pic shows). The outside is a slightly crisp golden brown and the middle is a perfect dense "cake." This will be my Sunday morning pancake recipe from now on!

Delicious! Those of you who substitued oil: did 2 tbs oil replace the 1/4 cup of shortening?

These were quick and easy and by adding a little more sugar and baking powder they were sweet and fluffy. My grandson ate them right off the griddle and said homemade was better than going out! No more pancakes houses for him!

My family loves these pancakes. They are very light and fluffy and are made of ingredients we always have on hand. We usually double the recipe and it makes about 12 larger pancakes. And we make these with 2tbsp of oil instad of the shortening, like some of the other reviewers.

These are the BEST pancakes! I use 2 Tablespoons of oil instead of the melted shortening, and use buttermilk instead of regular. The buttermilk will make the batter VERY thick, and you will need to quickly spread it out on the griddle, but makes all the difference. You can increase the buttermilk to 1 C. to make the batter more pourable and the pancakes will still come out light and fluffy. I have also doubled the recipe with equally good results.
