The BEST Pancake Recipe 

I love how you don't edit out any mistakes, you're the most relatable food content creator and your recipes are always a hit with my family!

Love that your first batch was a little burnt-ish. The first batch never turn out the way you want them to. Double the batter. Thanks John!

dry ingredients: 1 1/3 flour (160g) 1 tablespoon of baking powder 1/2 teaspoon of salt 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar wet ingredients 1 cup of whole milk 4 tablespoons or quarter cup butter melted 1 large egg 2 teaspoons of vainilla mix: wet ingredients & dry ingredients

"One day I'll measure that...but not today!" ❤ That's so me 🫣😂

I made your pancake recipe yesterday and I wanted to say they were amazing. The best pancakes I have ever had on my 64 years of life. Thanks for sharing. Laurie Colorado Springs Colorado

I just tried this Recipe and let the batter sit for 30-60min. These were AMAZING. I tried a bunch of other RU-vid recipes (tasty etc) but this is definitely the best and easiest. I would be proud to serve these to anyone

Very nice. I've been making this recipe for decades, it is very close to the version in the venerable "Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook" (with the red plaid cover) from my 1950s childhood. The big change in this version -- that I can't wait to try -- is using melted butter instead of vegetable oil. Awesome! One other note, as per the BHG cookbook and my own experience, is that you can cut the baking powder a bit, add some baking soda, and then use buttermilk instead of whole milk. Yum! The result is an even richer and more delicious stack of pancakes. A final note about eating these marvelous pancakes. Put a tab of butter in the middle of each pancake in the stack in addition to the top. ALWAYS use real maple syrup, lightly warmed. I've always loved to first eat around the edges, leaving the yummy center for last. Then the real treat -- the buttery center portions, all by themselves. During blueberry season here in New England, a few plump blueberries dropped into each cake just after it hits the skillet will be nicely cooked by the time the pancakes are done. Thanks for featuring this delicious breakfast classic.

It's official my new favorite Preppy Kitchen moment (replacing "mega cake pop"- if you know you know) is Ghost. I laughed out loud. Thanks, John. Awesome recipe, as always!

I absolutely love your pancake recipe! We’ve made them many times and haven’t been disappointed yet!

My mother’s buttermilk pancake recipe is the best. I agree it’s always worth it to make them fresh and homemade. If we want blueberries or chocolate chips, we just sprinkle onto the pancakes while they cook.

I've added this to my recipes playlist before finishing watching. I trust you that much.

This is a simple, lovely recipe. I always add cinnamon to my pancakes, but you're right that simple is best.

You are truly the best. Many blessings to you and your family.

Gotta love pancake recipes! My mom spent years perfecting her own recipe and perfection it is! Her making them for our birthdays have always been extremely special, favorite toppings are syrup and butter or strawberry mixture and whipped cream! ❤

I’ve been making pancakes from scratch for a long time and this is the absolute best recipe! I doubled it and added 1/2 t baking soda. I needed to use up some half & half so I used that in place of milk. This will now be my go to for pancakes. Thank you for sharing!

I’ve been using your recipe for awhile and my family loves it! Thank you all your helpful tips

I saw this yesterday and this morning came back to make them for breakfast. I know anything you make is good, you're my go to foodie. I just love you, you're so personable....ya, I could be your mom, looking at 60 this year! I'll have to find a good cake recipe to make myself.....After breakfast, I know you have at least one.🥰🤩

Hi... So long I didn't comment. My go to pancakes are one of your recipes it does have around 5 years I think. They are awesome! The best 🥞 I ever made.

Hey John, I made these pancakes this weekend and OH MY GOSH, my husband and I both agreed that they were the best pancakes we have had in years. This recipe is super simple and delicious and I will definitely make them again. Thank you so much for sharing all of your amazing recipes and videos!!!

Fantastic recipe. It turns out perfect and my family loves it

It's almost 4am and I couldn't resist to make this recipe! I just did it came ABSOLUTELY fluffy and delicious! Thank you so much! You are the best CHEFF ever!❤

I agree thank you for not editing because it shows us what to do when that happens in our kitchen. I know that whatever you cook is going to be fantastic!

My favorite person ever! Every recipe I’ve tried tastes great! You’ve taught me so much

This is now my favorite video from you due to the ghost. I believe that humor is one of the most important spices to the recipe of life and that touch was perfection.

Delicious indeed friend thank you so much bless to your family always much appreciated everything you do

Hands down the best pancakes I’ve ever made. Thank you!!!! I’ve been trying so many others. I ate 6 plain whilst making the rest, of the double batch!

I also love that too. It's great to see what can go wrong in a recipe so you don't have to be concerned about yours. Love all recipes on this channel. Easy and simple yet so delicious!

Very nice recipie John! They looks amazing! Have a nice day! 👍👏🥞

Made this so many times and my family lovessss it , thank you for the tips and tricks !

Thank you my first time making pancakes and got great reviews. My favorite chef

Made these this morning Without a doubt, best pancakes ever!

They turned out AMAZING! They were the best pancakes I have ever eaten! Best recipe EVERRR 😋🤤

I had pancakes for supper this evening, great comfort food. I’ll try yours next time ❤

I made your recipe and my whole family loved it. Thanks and greetings from Egypt

Yummy ! I will try this recipe for sure. Thank you

Looks delicious and easy to make as well. I noted that you added wet to dry, instead of dry to wet. Unusual. Adding dry to wet prevents dry ingredients getting stuck to the bottom of the bowl.

Best Pancake recipe I have ever tried! My pancakes where fluffy and tasted so good. Am glad I found this video. thank you for sharing!

I tried these for dinner, sprinkled some chocolate chips in and they turned out delicous! My new fav recipe 😋

These look delicious and I plan on trying them out in the future.

I use cast iron to fry pancakes in. It gives a very crispy edge. Also about the first pancake always getting burnt, I set the temp a little low while it preheating. On our current stove I cook at around 3.5 but only preheat at 3 then turn it up as the first pancakes are going on. An empty pan seems to overheat until something is actually cooking on it. Terry

Always wanted to cook homemade pancakes and now I did. Easy recipe and they came out great! Thanks so much for sharing your talents with the world! 🥞 😀🌈

Those look like maybe the fluffiest pancakes I've ever seen -- wow!

Btw I made your scones for a friend and her husband said they were better than any bakery he’s had scones from! You are a great teacher and I really appreciate your videos!

Anyone else wonder how John keeps his figure when he's eating like this all the time? Probably a marathon runner...

Thank you for sharing. I l❤ve using Ghee to fry my pancakes in.

I like this very much.The best recipe 😋❤️

Made these for grands this morning who gave rave reviews....I added some blueberries as they cooked....very good...thanks John

I love your energy, your videos make me feel so relaxed 😊

They look delicious!

Nothing like a stack of pancakes dripping with butter and syrup on a cold rainy weekend morning.

My Mom always out about 2 TBS of white Cornmeal in her batter, oh so good!!

I can’t wait to try this recipe!!

Best pancakes I have ever eaten!

Looks so good

Love your content and cant wait to make these pancakes. They look amazing

I was wondering what to make for my son when he comes back from school today and i am making this, as an evening snack not breakfast 😅. Thank you John.

I've found if I freeze my pancakes and air fry them they are way better than microwaved! ❤️ This!

Just made your pancake recipe and it is perfect 😊

Beautiful !!!

Looks so good 👍

Thank you so much ,great video❤

Love the inspiring videos. Keep it up!

Buttermilk instead of regular milk makes pancakes super moist! To compensate for the thickness of the buttermilk means adding more than what’s called for with milk. Also excellent waffle recipe. I’ve been making fresh buttermilk pancakes for over 30 yrs. The best! Try it John. Oh and real maple syrup is the only way!

Super Delicious Pancakes 🤤🥞❤

These are by far one of the best pancakes I’ve made

This is my fav recipe ❤
