I have been obsessed with trying to find the Perfect Pancake Recipe. It has mostly been trial and error. My favorite pancakes are the ones made from scratch. I love to go to IHop and have pancakes they are super yummy and perfect every time. Along time ago I used to eat pancakes at a restaurant called Barbec's, in Pleasant Grove they made the best beer pancakes in the world. That was along time ago, 16 years to be exact.Barbecs has since closed down, but I can still picture those beer pancakes and their famous beer biscuits in my mind, light fluffy and delicious. I have a love for pancakes like no other, in our house we especially love to have breakfast for dinner. My son Carson shares the same love of pancakes just like his mama, so finding a great great recipe has been quite a difficult task.
I have tried a lot of buttermilk pancake recipes only to find they were to flat and really tangy tasting. So back to the Bisquick and pioneer baking mix I went. I know homemade is best but the boxed mixes yield the fluffiest pancakes so I know I can depend on them. I was visiting my blogging friend Joan's site 3 girls, me and a recipe and noticed she had posted a recipe titled the perfect pancakes!I read down a bit farther in the post and noticed Joan had mentioned she got the recipe from thepioneerwomancooks. I knew this pancake recipe had to be good, Ree wouldn't steer us wrong. I was so excited to get to the store to purchase cake flour, I couldn't wait to make these pancakes!!! And make them I did, I have made this pancake recipe 4 times and we love them. Light, Fluffy and Delicious just like I was looking for. My search is over yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect pancake batter. I am a batter lover so, I tasted it and can vouch for its yumminess.
Pancakes are ready to flip when little bubbles start to appear.

Mmm, those do look good. I have several favorite pancake recipes that I use, but these really do look so light and fluffy. Yum!
Hi! I really enjoy your site and have made some of your recipes regulars at our house. Your fruit salad is the BOMB!
If you have no problem with pancake mix may I suggest you try Krusteaz? My dh and I quit making pancakes from scratch when we tried it. They come out very fluffy and tasty every time and are way easy. And no, I don't work for them or own stock LOL. Unfortunately. I bet your "scratch" ones are delicious but it's nice to have a quick back up sometimes.
That's a great website--I have a great "blender" pancake recipe where you put the wheat berries, and everything in the blender--LOTS of blending time, but well worth it! Love your photos of the pancakes--making me hungry!
Those look yummy! I don't have cake flour though. Is all purpose okay?
God bless,
Amanda
These do look good. I must confess I often will just buy the frozen ones and pop them in the microwave for dd! These look so good I might have to try them one weekend for all of us :-)
love American pancakes
Now that you've gone to all that trouble- i'll guess i'll get to make them just by clicking here- I feel sort of guilty
When I started reading your pancake dilemma, I was going to ask if you had tried Pioneer Woman's/Ree's pancake recipe. I love it and I see you do to. :)
Ah, yes...Ree has some really good looking recipes!! I'm always meaning to buy some cake flour (got a "best" cake recipe I'm supposed to be trying!), but I've never seen a pancake recipe using it! Must try!!
We make pancakes every Sunday and we LOVE ours with Wheat flour. Have you tried it? Fluffy everytime.
Sounds like it may be worth the trip to get some cake flour. My kids love pancakes and I'm getting bored with the same old, same old.
I was looking for a homemade pancake recipe myself, especially after my host mom made it in Germany, and I never got up to asking her for it.
Have to try this,...hmmm....probably not tomorrow morning because I have to get up early to volunteer for Helping Horse Therapeutic Riding...but Thursday morning sounds like a date!!

cake flour is the southern woman's secret tool for her recipes! you'd be surprised what you can use it in to add lightness!
This receipe looks so easy and exactly what I was looking for. We missed our favorite restaurant here in Arlington that had the BEST pancakes ever! The new Cowboy Stadium bought the property and now I haven't been able to find another one like it. I knew it had Vanilla and sugar in it. Can't wait to try it!!
Hmmm...I'm actually intrigued by the beer pancake thing...
Sharing the comment love!
Oh! And I'm hosting a giveaway on my blog--come check it out!
I am so trying this recipe this weekend! My husband absolutely loves pancakes.
I just found your blog and thought I'd say hi.
I had a hard time choosing one of your recipes to link to. I love them all! ;-)
I gave you a "Lovely Blog Award" over on my blog if you want to claim it... :-)
These were great - made them this weekend with my toddler and blogged about them here:

Thank you for this recipe. They truly are the perfect pancake recipe! Light and fluffy and tasty.
I'm a pancake fan as well an this is definitely going to be my new favorite recipe. My husband loves them too!
These were soo good.I love my recipe but these are so on the list of my faves.
I, like you, have been searching for a great pancake recipe. I made these last night and my search is officially over. Thanks for sharing such an amazing recipe with us!
I just made these a few hours ago for dinner and the pancakes were deliciously perfect. Whew! no more yearning for IHOP.
I love, love, love your blog and i come here almost everyday and just hang around...:) Thank you for sharing your recipes and making me a good cook.
Thank you Thank you Thank you! This recipe is awesome! No more Aunt Jemima in my house :)
Just thought I'd share a kitchen tip. You can make your own cake flour substitute by sifting all purpose flour three times and then measuring.
I love a light, fluffy pancake but I also like the convenience of a mix. My all time favorite way is to use .....soda pop for the liquid, (for me it's diet sprite). Do not dilute with any other liquid as it takes away from the bubble action. Also if you use root beer, orange or any other flavored soft drink the kids will love the novelty.
Finally! a recipe that worked. I have never been able to get my pancakes just right, but this morning I tried your recipe and WOW! is all I can say. My husband and son loved the pancakes. This will now become the recipe I use from now on to make pancakes. I love love love your site.
I have tried this recipe and I will continue to use it forever, this is by far the best pancake recipe ever!!!!!!
I used this recipe but I didn't have any cake flower so I used all purpose. I also added 1/2 tablespoon of molasses and they turned out amazing
