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!

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

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

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.

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

I'm making this pancake recipe rn, I'm just cooking them now, and I tried one, and I've gotta say that they taste pretty good. I whoelheartedly trust every recipe you make, I love the clear instruction, no music, real time videos. Thank you for being a wonderful cook, guide, parent, and friend.

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!

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.

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

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

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.🥰🤩

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!

1 1/3 cups flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons sugar Mix dry ingredients I cup whole milk (warm in microwave) 4 tablespoons melted butter 1 large egg (room temperature) 2 teaspoons vanilla Whisk wet ingredients Add wet to dry, fold together with spatula

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.

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!

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!!!

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

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!❤

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

I have searched for a recipe like this for yearssss. I wanted a homemade recipe that was as tasty and fluffy as boxed pancake mix but it was impossible to find. I tried dozens of recipes across youtube and this morning I took a chance and tried this one. I can safely say i have found my go-to recipe for life. I couldnt believe it actually tastes like Betty Crocker pancake mix and it made my entire day! Thank you!

I have tried them today, this is by far the best recipe. The pancakes are amazingly tasty, fluffy and tender.

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.

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.

I made French toast this morning using your recipe like where have you been all my life. The grandbabies ate them with no syrup

Just tried these and man….. these are perfect. Thank you!

I appreciate your metric measurements you include, you are a saint.

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

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

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

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

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

hhmm...pancakes...yep pancakes for dinner.

Tried this recipe today... not exaggerating - I could've sold a plate of these for £15 - They came out sooo gooood!!!

I'm a 14 year old and I love you videos I made the pancakes for my family thay loved them and I also made the brownie for my family

I love pancakes and making pancakes. I was heavily drooling over this lovely set. Two recommendations: save your bacon grease to use for cooking the pancakes in... and instead of syrup, dust lightly with powdered sugar and squeeze fresh lemon juice onto the plated pancakes.

Yummy pre measure night before excellent! Memorizing this now😀

i like a little brown sugar in mine. sometimes i use greek yogurt and water or lemon juice and milk to make a butter milk. i put a dash of b soda in too. i also like to beat my eggs like crazy. foamy. ive actually separated my whites and whipped them to peaks before. that was for gluten free b powder free pancakes. (i sometimes blend milk with spinach to make healthy green pancakes and top with applesauce, yogurt, berries, and pecams) and i mix it a little thin and let it sit for 10 min and the flour really soaks in to thicken.

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!

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

'Hither or thither'...you're the BOMB, John! Puttin' on my fat pants and gonna make these pancakes...YEP.

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.

Hi John! Would you share a low carb or sugar free recipe? My 13 year old son recently got diagnosed with T1D and is limited to carbs and sugar. We love and enjoy your videos!!!

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!

This looks so delicious!! I am going to try them this weekend. My question is, how would you cook them if you were using a cast iron skillet? That is what I use. Please advise. Thank you! Can you show your waffle recipe?

I appreciate your honesty during cooking ❤ thanks for the recipe!

First batch of homemade pancakes ALWAYS burns - no matter your skill or experience level, it is a set law of the universe

Those copper pans get sooo hot .....I always have to remind myself to turn the heat down when cooking with those!! They are nothing like cooking with regular pans! John, your pancakes look super AMAZING!!! 🙂 Thinking of making those for DINNER!!! YUMMY!!!

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

The artistic director of my improv Theatre always says “Let’s get out there and make some bad pancakes” the idea is that the first thing you do is never gonna turn out right, even in a show everything might go south, but eventually you get that big fluffy stack of pancakes! In fact our drop in class was called The Stack! It was heartening to see your first pancakes!

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!

Thank you for the great recipe! Saw this before I went to sleep and made it in the morning. Truly delicious!

Wow! These were the best pancakes that my family has ever had.

Wow, Yummy I can't wait to try this and I will try to put the heat to a lower setting cause the same thing happens always a little too dark on the one side.

I made these pancake's and they are the best I have made...Tried many different recipes ....this is the best one....thanks

I always make an extra batch, freeze or refrigerate. Then I just pop in the the toaster for quick morning breakfast. I like them better reheated in toaster than microwaved.

i just mixed everything in a bowl then i flipped them babies on the stove and let me tell you this john, i've never had fluffier pancakes in my whole life! thank you for helping me set a great start to my morning :)

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

Just made these. I just needed an extra tablespoon of sugar (I’m a sweet girl) and I also added cinnamon and nutmeg. They came out perfect!!!

I like this recipe but with buttermilk instead of milk. One best pancake recipes out there

These came out wonderful. Only thing I did differently was brown the butter. My son and I enjoyed them.

More butter is always good!

" one day I'll measure it out, but not today"... that cracked me up!😂

Ohhh those look sooo yummy 🤤.. thanks John, now I am craving those for my next breakfast 🥞

You know you can trust a RU-vidr when he/she doesn't edit mistakes their audience is likely to make too.

Its good to make small batches bcz large families can double but especially for 2 members and new beginners its savage

You are my go-to online recipe guy. Those pancakes look so good! Thank you for the delicious recipies!

This is the easiest pancake recipe Ive come across, i will definitely be trying it now that there is no more auntie jimama 😊

JUST made these! I got 9 pancakes out of it! DELICIOUS! I also found that I needed less syrup than my usual drowning lol I used a small measuring cup (1/4) just for uniformity lol I added some sliced strawberries to a few before flipping! 🫶🏻❤️🥞 Thanks for the recipe! 😊

Hi john! I just ordered your 2nd book:D I cannot believe I've discovered you in th elast year and I am now always googling "Preppy Kitchen [dish's name] recipe" 😂😂

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

Hi Johnnn!! Love you man! You are amazing!! You are just reading my thoughts! Just yesterday I watched your coffee cake recipe and I was tbinking like oh its better you show me a pancake recipe. And you made your pancake recipe so soon haha!! It's like I'm having a telepathy with you!! 😀😀👍Your pancakes is so good and delicious for sure.

Love the ghost floating past lol

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

I have always made my pancakes from scratch. I add a quarter to half cup of sour cream to the batter, makes a very tender batter. Also cinnamon is a must .

Thank you so much for this incredible recipe! it was the fluffiest and yummiest pancakes ever. it made me feel good about my cooking skills cause I am trying to be a better cook :)

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

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

Looks delicious 😋 thank you for the recipe

I’ve made these this morning. Wife and I started laughing after first bite. They were THAT good. Thanks! 🤗

Thanks for sharing! Maybe I can beat my husband’s long running streak of being the best pancake maker with your recipe! The greatest judges being my kids 😊

The ghost was too funny 😂 but the pancakes 🥞🥞 look delicious 😋

I love this guy because, if I'm hungry? He's got me. If I'm having a sugar craving? He's got me.

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

The ghost loves the idea of Caramelization.😁😂 I’m DEFINITELY trying this recipe. Then I’m going to pass it down to my oldest brother, he is the “pancake king”. I always make my pancakes in brown butter, my grilled cheese too. Yummo!!! Tfs. Have a wonderful day.🤗

The ghost 😂
