Why You’ll Love This Recipe
We start our week days (at least during the school year) at 5:15 am, so when I have time on weekends, I like to make something special for breakfast, and these Favorite Big Fluffy Pancakes have quickly become a weekend breakfast staple.
We made these last night for dinner and they were FANTASTIC! Taste as good as they look! I have finally found the PERFECT pancake recipe. I have been searching for years! Thank you!

They’re slightly sweet, perfectly soft, and most important, super fluffy! My kids love them, and even my husband, who isn’t a big pancake fan, goes back for seconds.
The secret is the “soured” milk. The vinegar really gets the baking powder working. You can actually see all the air it creates in the batter.
I’ve found the pancakes come out best when you let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
Whether you serve them with maple syrup or fruit and whipped cream, or throw some chocolate chips or blueberries into the batter, these pancakes are a real treat!
When I take the time to make a hot breakfast, I want it to be something special, and when it comes to big, fluffy pancakes, this recipe is a winner.
I made this pancakes for dinner the other night, along with some Easy Blueberry Sauce, and my college-age son actually said, “You’re the best mom ever!” I don’t know…..I think he liked them.
I can honestly say they’re the best homemade pancakes we’ve ever had!
These are delicious! I sprinkled some pearl sugar on the top of the pancakes before flipping the over, which made theme even more decadent. Thanks so much.

No joke, these are the best pancakes I have ever had. I like giant pancakes as a treat so I made them using about a 1/2 cup of batter spread out to fill a six inch skillet. A half-batch made three of these huge ones… so worth it.
