Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled) 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil 1 large egg 1 tablespoon vegetable oil Assorted toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, confectioners’ sugar, honey, jams, preserves, sweetened whipped cream, or chocolate syrup
Directions
Preheat oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).
Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel.
For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit 2 to 3 in a large skillet).
Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You’ll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 12/06/2020 Fantastic recipe! This is my go to recipe for pancakes. I made them with the yogurt substitution step the last time and they were even fluffier. I added some blueberries as well. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 10/08/2020 This was amazing! I have been cooking most of my life and this recipe is the best I’ve ever tried. I added flax seed, chia seeds, and vanilla. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 10/05/2020 This was amazing. I’ve never been good at making pancakes but hate the prepackaged ones. This was easy and they came out exactly like the picture. And they taste awesome. Used the steps. Thank you so much am definitely using this recipe and will be trying other recipes. 👏👏👏 Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 09/29/2020 I made them for supper. Read the recipe today. Sounded so good i had to make them right away, they are really good. So moist and fluffy. I think i wont be buying store bought mix anymore. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 09/09/2020 Omg these were so goood! They were amazing! I think I added a bit to much baking powder but either way they turned out delicious. 10 out of 10 will make again! Btw I made an account just to write this review lmao Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4.0 stars 09/04/2020 The recipe took forever to make but was really good. It created not many (10 for us) and I would advise doing a double batch. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 07/25/2020 I just made them and finished eating them. They were absolutely delicious. “Dem mash up“ as we say here. Definitely will be my go to recipe. For the people that said they were “flat and tasteless”... you need to try the recipe again. I followed the video Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 07/18/2020 I have been using this pancake recipe for a very long time now and I am loving it! It is simple and easy to make. I uses room temperature of full cream milk and it turns out soft and really delicious to eat. Pancake is one of my favourite food and I am so glad I found this one all time recipe thank you Martha. You are the best! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 07/01/2020 I was out of milk, so I used 2/3c plain greek yogurt and 1/3c oat milk! I also added a few blueberries. They were so fluffy and delish! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 06/12/2020 So my friend came over for a sleep over and we wanted pancake for breakfast but we spent ages arguing over who will make it because NO ONE wants to make them. Then we agreed finally that we’ll all make them and we spent ages finding a recipe and gathering ingredients and measuring carefully and mixing till it was perfect. Then we used a shaper to make the heart shaped and they took ages to make. And now, finally, the Herculean task of making pancakes is over and OH MY GOD they’re SO GOOD I JUST HAD TO WRITE A REVIEW. They’re just melting in my mouth and so fluffy. Martha Stewart you are a genius. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 06/03/2020 This is my new go to recipe for pancakes. They are much tastier than the ones I normally make with bisquick. It is a basic mix so you can add your favorite toppings or add your favorite spices to the batter. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1.0 stars 05/10/2020 Flat and tasteless Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 05/10/2020 I look forward to making more of these pancakes in the future, but I wondered how much batter you would recommend to put onto the skillet per pancake. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 05/01/2020 so do you mind if I can use your recipes for my personal use these? I made them once and honestly these are the best pancakes and Rasberry pancakes ever! I am waiting for new recipes! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 04/24/2020 This is the best recipe.. for all those who didn't get through y'all doing sumn wrong.. btw I'm from Trinidad & I love this pancakes 🇹🇹 Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4.0 stars 04/19/2020 THIS IS A GREAT RECIPE I MADE THEMM THIS AFTERNOON AND IT WAS SOO GOOD AND THICK AND TASTY😋 Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 03/30/2020 Amazing! Best breakfast food ever! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 03/30/2020 Fantastic for Dinner too! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 03/21/2020 in my third trimester of pregnancy and had a sudden craving for pancakes with maple syrup, macerated strawberries and whipped cream. whipped these up in no time with little mess but found they were a little bitter. i figured it was the baking soda and went back to review the recipe and seen that it called for baking POWDER (pregnancy brain anyone?) also added a little vanilla because everything is better with vanilla! recommend these highly but use less baking soda or try the recommended baking powder lol Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 03/02/2020 Excellent and easy! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 02/09/2020 This recipe is easy and makes great pancakes. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1.0 stars 02/06/2020 WORST pancakes I've ever had. they were flat and tasteless. what a huge letdown and disappointment. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 01/19/2020 No problems with this recipe at all. Perfect and fluffy. The negative comments are hilarious. Maybe you all should step away from the kitchen if you can't even make these. Oh, and the one saying she left her brains in prison? Where did you lose yours? Maybe learn to read. The oven was to keep the cooked pancakes warm while you finished the other batches. Especially if you were only using a skillet to make them and not a long griddle. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 11/11/2019 So delicious me and my mom love it thank you Martha. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 09/28/2019 I tried this recipe last evening when, on a whim, I decided to have breakfast for dinner. The pancakes puff up so nicely on the griddle and the result was the perfect spongey, fluffy cake. While cooking, I tossed a 1/2 cup of frozen berries into another pan (use a little water to deglaze) and this creates a tart, but sweet, berry topping for the pancakes. I wish I had a picture to post, but it turned out so pretty and delicious. Will make again! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 09/24/2019 I have made this these pancakes (sometimes with whole milk sometimes with buttermilk) more times than I can count. I follow the recipe to the letter and they always turn out perfectly. These are hands down the best and easiest pancakes I have ever made. No disrespect to those who have not have luck with the recipe, but you must be doing something wrong. How else could so many of us have success with the recipe if not? Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 09/06/2019 These are my Dad Elmer's ingredients precisely. He used a stove griddle. My Mom & I loved the results as much as he did making them for us! I miss Dad so much and make the cakes often as one of many ways to bring out his memory and feel close to him again. Dad, they must love when you make these in Heaven! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 08/30/2019 Self rising flour egg oil and buttermilk. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 08/09/2019 I love this recipe I’ve made it several times and it is great even with it being a thinner pancake batter it still is good and some comments about how it doesn’t brown must be doing something wrong Some times they have a “burnt” look to them but there not truly burnt Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 07/22/2019 HEAT OVEN TO 200----HEAT SKILLET OVER MEDIUM-????????DID SHE LEAVE HER BRAINS IN PRISON WHEN SHE LEFT? Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 07/21/2019 I tried the recipe and it wouldn’t brown when I put it on the stove and the pancakes were really thin. The quantity of pancakes was very minimum I had to double the recipe to make 8 pancakes! But the people I made them for enjoyed them and liked the taste. I wouldn’t recommend this but it’s not my decision wether you choose to use this recipe or not. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 03/24/2019 I made the variation #2, with yogurt. I used greek yogurt 6% (that's what I normally buy) and milk 1%. I added 2 teaspoons of sugar, because we like pancakes a tiny bit sweet. They turned out awesome. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 03/05/2019 We make these pancakes all the time and they are always perfect! The comments on this recipe are hilarious though - either people love them and they’re nice and fluffy or people hate them and think they’re too thin. Personally, ours have never been thin! Strange that so many people are having that result. Anyway, we love these and it’s my go-to recipe for pancakes. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 02/07/2019 Delicious healthy desserts that will satisfy your sweet tooth without adding to your waistline!

Check out this >> https://bit.ly/mydesserts Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 01/26/2019 Ive made this a couple times and plan to keep making it. These r so yummy😊 Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 01/15/2019 Made to specs would not flip and taste horabel worst pancakes I have ever had will never use a Martha Stewart recipe Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 01/12/2019 This recipe is the best most amazing pancake recipe! Perfect flavor, perfect texture, and very simple to make with simple ingredients. I love this recipe! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 01/01/2019 these were the easiest and the best pancakes I've ever made! so fluffy and yummy! I also put chocolate chips in it mmm.... Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 12/24/2018 Great recipe. Meant to rate at 5 not 1 Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 11/07/2018 Our pancakes came out exactly as pictured. Tasted fantastic. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 10/17/2018 Not sure what the others did to make theirs runny, my were def not, nice and thick about 1/2". I suggest those who had thin pancakes try re-reading the ingredients quantity again. Those who complained about them burning: umm turn down the gas! Great pancakes if you can read and use common sense! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 10/11/2018 Best pancakes! Light and fluffy. One suggestion just let the batter sit before using it so it fluffs up. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 10/01/2018 Horrible! RAN ALL OVER THE PAN, made only half the number it said, and I did not over beat the mixture. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 09/27/2018 These were the ABSOLUTE WORSE pancakes ever!!! Tasteless. Flat and yes my ingredients were fresh. I make pancakes all the time that are delicious but I thought I would try a new recipie but i will NEVER use this 1 again. My 1 star was only because there was no way for me to put in a negative star amount I wouldn't f even feed these to my dogs for fear of being in earrested for animal cruelty Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 08/31/2018 Awesome recipe! Have tried lots and hated most - nice, fluffy, NOT dry pancakes that crisp up on the edges :) Yes!!! I used all organic ingredients and coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. Hoping to have fresh blueberries for next time. Anyone giving this recipe a bad review must not know how to cook. It will be my "go to" from now on. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 08/20/2018 This is the best pancake I've ever had. I receive many guests in our B&B and *my* pancakes are famous. I have yet to find a single person who hasn't loved it. The secret to a fluffy pancake is in mot over mixing. The batter will be lumpy and unsightly, but the end result will be pure deliciousness. You won't even need syrup. I'd give this recipe 11 stars if I could. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 08/10/2018 Worst pancakes ever. I wanted to make homemade instead of using from a box. I soon realized that was a mistake when I flipped the pancake. Some parts were COMPLETELY burned and others were COMPLETELY raw!! I tried putting only the raw part on the griddle. That didn't work. Then I tried making the batter thinner by putting less on and spreading it out more. That didn't work either. So then I tried leaving it on for less time. And it was barely even brown. Unlike the mixes I use that give it a nice golden brown color. Would not reccomend Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 05/13/2018 This was so easy and some of the BEST pancakes I've ever had! My batter wasn't thin at all. I used the unsalted butter and 2% milk! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 05/06/2018 Batter is a little thinner than I prefer, but the recipe is super easy and very tasty. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 04/10/2018 I added blueberries and used the yogurt/milk option with the baking soda addition. Make sure your baking powder is fresh if yours came out flat. Mine were nice and fluffy. I will use this recipe again. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 03/25/2018 This is my go to recipe! Super easy! I usually make it for my girls when they have sleepovers and now their friends flat out ask for them when they make sleepover plans. I usually double the recipe, substitute whole wheat flour for half the flour an add a cap full of good vanilla extract. Sometimes I also use coconut oil in place of butter but only when I know no one has a peanut or tree nut allergy (sleepover friends; not all coconut oils are allergy safe!) Sometimes we add chocolate chips, banana slices or blueberries in the batter or sliced fresh banana or strawberries on top. Even plain, these pancakes are sooooooo good! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 02/22/2018 My go-to breakfast recipe! When I half the recipe, the pancakes turn out denser even when I use the smallest egg in the carton. This recipe is so basic that there's plenty of leeway! Sometimes I substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour, throw some oats in, and add a little extra milk. They always taste delicious and this recipe is super quick! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 02/16/2018 The only thing that I changed in the recipe was that I through all of the dry ingredients in the bowl and mixed them, then instead of dirtying up a second bowl, I added the wet ingredients straight into the bowl with the dry ingredients, then I mixed everything up together. I let the batter sit about 10 minutes while my pan got nice and hot and the batter was real thick when I started cooking. There is no vanilla in this recipe, and I probably would have added some, but I am out. And still, this is the BEST pancake recipe I have ever used. I couldn't believe how simple it is and it could be so perfect. I love things simple and awesome. This made an A+ with both. This is a keeper and the only pancake recipe I will be using from now on. I do not like relying on boxed foods. I would rather make from scratch. Now that I have this recipe, I can experiment with healthier flour options as well. I doubled it for the 5 of us who were eating and we had about 4 nice sized pancakes left over. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 02/13/2018 Made these for Shrove Tuesday and they were fine. I'm gluten-free, so I used Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Flour and added 3/4 tsp xanthan gum. Also, I separated my egg and whipped the white, folding it in after everything else was mixed. The batter seemed thin at first, but after a few moments in the bowl it thickened up. Whipping the egg whites was a new trick for me and I do think it made the pancakes fluffier. I'll be experimenting with this recipe some more. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4 stars 01/27/2018 I made these for my niece, nephew and granddaughter. They said they were awesome and the best homemade pancakes they've ever had. I followed the recipe exact and they were fluffy and delicious. Typically, I would have preferred to use real butter in the recipe, but I am out, so I used vegetable oil. I did add some chocolate chips to half of it...Amazing! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 01/18/2018 These pancakes if you call them that do not turn out fluffy. I made them for 3 hungry boys and the batter was so runny. I’ve defintley made my fair share of pancakes and I’d have to say steer clear of this recipe if you want fluffy home style pancakes. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4 stars 01/14/2018 As is this recipe is pretty good. It makes good tasting, super easy and quick pancakes. I don't give 5 stars, because they aren't very fluffy or voluminous. I've determined that doubling the salt to 1 teaspoon and adding a teaspoon of baking soda (in addition to the 2 teaspoons of baking powder) results in a much fluffier and more substantial pancake that is just as easy! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 01/13/2018 Usually make pancakes with a mix, but we were out. Thought these should taste even better, but they were almost not edible. At least the recipe was easy. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/24/2017 It needs to be doubled as it only made enough for 2 adults. Was the best I have ever made definitely a keeper !! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/23/2017 I haven’t made pancakes from scratch in YEARS! This recipe was fantastic. I added a smidge more sugar and some vanilla extract. DELICIOUS!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/17/2017 Oh my goodness. My husband made this for us this morning and they were great! He added chopped apples, cinnamon and vanilla. They were fluffy and kept their shape. When reading reviews remember there are many different factors and any great recipe can turn out bad from user errors! If you follow this recipe your pancakes will be great. For the review that labeled these as bland? Flour, milk and eggs don't scream out "flavor" it is what you put on the pancake or the extra flavoring you add to the batter. This was a great recipe. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 12/13/2017 Dissapointing - very plain and rubber-like Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 12/03/2017 I'm so disappointed! I always read the reviews, but I didn't this time. Today is my 5 year old's birthday, and I made these pancakes hoping it would be a nice surprise. Pancakes are his favorite! Why didn't I use our standard recipe!!?? Ugh! These pancakes were so thin! Nothing like the picture indicates, and I followed the recipe exactly! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 2 stars 11/25/2017 Thoroughly mediocre recipe. We followed another reviewer's suggestions and started with only 3/4 cup of milk. Even at that, the recipe was the right pancake batter consistency before we added it all. Which means that yes, 1/2 tsp of salt is too much. They were a little too salty before adding syrup.They rose just fine, in fact, they were really thick and fluffy, but (probably since we used only about half the recommended milk) the recipe only made 2-3 pancakes. Not an epic fail, but surely not a family favorite. Does anyone test these recipes before posting? Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 11/11/2017 This was, hands down, the worst pancake recipe I have ever used. The batter was runnier than my toddler’s nose and the pancakes were flatter than crepes. If I could give it negative stars, I would. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 11/10/2017 Best pancake recipe I have ever used! Super fluffy and tall. I doubled the sugar because I like my pancakes to be sweet on their own (plus, I add maple syrup... I like it sweeeeet). Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 11/07/2017 We ran out of boxed pancake mix, so I searched Martha Stewart, who always has fantastic recipes, and sure enough, this one did not fail. Pantry staples ingredients, fast and simple. Only addition was a splash of vanilla extract, but only because I always add that to whatever boxed pancake mix I use. Absolutely delicious! In it goes into the best recipes files. Thank you, Martha! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 10/29/2017 These might have been the worse pancakes I ever made. They didn't hold their shape whatsoever, and were dry, salty and overall unappetizing. We had to preform major surgery to the entire recipe to make it semi-edible. You should never, under any circumstance, make these pancakes, unless you are doing a presentation on the handling of poisonous substances. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 10/17/2017 My kids, ages 4 and 1, go crazy for these pancakes! We make them together every Saturday morning. I like to add a dash of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla. Absolutely perfect! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 09/24/2017 Flattest pancakes I've ever made. Didn't even hold their shape, they weren't round at all. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 2 stars 09/20/2017 These pancakes were too salty and needed to be a bit more fluffy. I'd suggest adding some vanilla or less salt, and yes i only added 1/2 tsp. I used olive oil like it suggested aswell. Overall just a big disappointment Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 09/19/2017 these really are just perfect pancakes. I used white whole wheat pastry flour and started with 3/4 cup milk (I used goat milk) and added a little more, but not a full cup. many scratch pancake recipes wind up seeming slightly rubbery - these were just right. the recipe called for more sugar than I thought was right, but they tasted (and browned) amazing. the recipe made 5 medium (5" or 6") pancakes. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 08/14/2017 Previous attempt with another recipe was a disaster. This recipe made the perfect, fluffiest pancakes and now I am wondering if these pancakes were better than the ones I had at a cafe. I must say you have nailed the ingredients and the timing. I will try them again soon. Thanks for the recipe. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/23/2017 Why did we preheat the oven to 200 degrees?? Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 07/15/2017 AMAZING!! Very easy to make! Fluffy and tasty! Thank you from all of us ♥♥♥♥. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 07/06/2017 Best pancake recipe ever! Very easy to make. No hassles of separating eggs and folding in beaten egg whites. Came out perfectly fluffy and tasty! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/29/2017 I really don't know how I feel about these pancakes. They were very blan and at first very thin. I added chocolate chips and a little bit more flour to make them thicker and sweeter and THATS when they turned out great. I really do recommended adding flour and some kind of sweet topping!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/26/2017 These pancakes were great! I did modify the recipe a little bit, adding a 1/2 tsp of vanilla and using almond milk, came out fantastic! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/11/2017 These were by a wide margin the worst pancakes I've ever had. They came out crepe thin, dense/rubbery, and flavorless. And before anyone asks; yes, I used fresh baking powder, I am familiar with the effects of over mixing pancake batter s I mixed the batter just enough to make everything wet, and I cook on medium low heat, which is where just about any other pancake cooks perfectly on my stove. I ended up retrying the recipe and added about an extra half cup of flour, an extra egg, and vanilla, and lo and behold they were fine. Cooked up fairly thick and fluffy and actually had some taste to them. Maybe this is supposed to base batter that is easy to modify, hence the name of the recipe, but man, there needs to be a warning or something. As the recipe is listed these are just awful. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 06/08/2017 These were the best pancakes I've ever made. The first one I had to throw out because the skillet was not hot enough. The second one was golden brown on the edges as I added a bit of butter... After every couple of pancakes, added more butter to skillet. We topped with organic maple syrup and Devonshire cream. Thought we'd died and gone to Heaven. Bliss! The people who say this recipe didn't turn out is because you have to have your skillet hot, melt some butter, put the batter in slowly and not too thick. We are still raving about them! Omg, Amazing. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 05/28/2017 Very tasty, fluffy, easy! This box mix lady will never not make from scratch again. A+ recipe. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 05/06/2017 Awful...really thin batter with a lot of spread. Really thin/flat pancakes. Husband askes if they were pancakes or crepes. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 05/04/2017 These are on spot, my family loved them and because I am diabetic, I left the sugar out to enjoy a couple. (Still have to watch for carbs!) Delicious! I will make them again for my grand-kids. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 04/30/2017 I made the w[filtered]-grain version with buttermilk for the second time. Great recipe and delicious! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 04/10/2017 Awesome pancakes. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 04/06/2017 These pancakes came out perfect!!! I shared it with a friend and her pancakes were perfect too. Thank you Martha for a great recipe and clear instructions. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/01/2017 OMG -I have to agree with allaroundthea comment below, These pancakes my dog would not even eat. He actually threw them up.

So my friend came over for a sleep over and we wanted pancake for breakfast but we spent ages arguing over who will make it because NO ONE wants to make them. Then we agreed finally that we’ll all make them and we spent ages finding a recipe and gathering ingredients and measuring carefully and mixing till it was perfect. Then we used a shaper to make the heart shaped and they took ages to make. And now, finally, the Herculean task of making pancakes is over and OH MY GOD they’re SO GOOD I JUST HAD TO WRITE A REVIEW. They’re just melting in my mouth and so fluffy. Martha Stewart you are a genius.

in my third trimester of pregnancy and had a sudden craving for pancakes with maple syrup, macerated strawberries and whipped cream. whipped these up in no time with little mess but found they were a little bitter. i figured it was the baking soda and went back to review the recipe and seen that it called for baking POWDER (pregnancy brain anyone?) also added a little vanilla because everything is better with vanilla! recommend these highly but use less baking soda or try the recommended baking powder lol

No problems with this recipe at all. Perfect and fluffy. The negative comments are hilarious. Maybe you all should step away from the kitchen if you can’t even make these. Oh, and the one saying she left her brains in prison? Where did you lose yours? Maybe learn to read. The oven was to keep the cooked pancakes warm while you finished the other batches. Especially if you were only using a skillet to make them and not a long griddle.

I tried this recipe last evening when, on a whim, I decided to have breakfast for dinner. The pancakes puff up so nicely on the griddle and the result was the perfect spongey, fluffy cake. While cooking, I tossed a 1/2 cup of frozen berries into another pan (use a little water to deglaze) and this creates a tart, but sweet, berry topping for the pancakes. I wish I had a picture to post, but it turned out so pretty and delicious. Will make again!

I tried the recipe and it wouldn’t brown when I put it on the stove and the pancakes were really thin. The quantity of pancakes was very minimum I had to double the recipe to make 8 pancakes!

I made the variation #2, with yogurt. I used greek yogurt 6% (that’s what I normally buy) and milk 1%. I added 2 teaspoons of sugar, because we like pancakes a tiny bit sweet. They turned out awesome.

We make these pancakes all the time and they are always perfect! The comments on this recipe are hilarious though - either people love them and they’re nice and fluffy or people hate them and think they’re too thin. Personally, ours have never been thin! Strange that so many people are having that result. Anyway, we love these and it’s my go-to recipe for pancakes.

This is the best pancake I’ve ever had. I receive many guests in our B&B and my pancakes are famous. I have yet to find a single person who hasn’t loved it. The secret to a fluffy pancake is in mot over mixing. The batter will be lumpy and unsightly, but the end result will be pure deliciousness. You won’t even need syrup. I’d give this recipe 11 stars if I could.
Rating: 1 stars 08/10/2018
Worst pancakes ever. I wanted to make homemade instead of using from a box. I soon realized that was a mistake when I flipped the pancake. Some parts were COMPLETELY burned and others were COMPLETELY raw!! I tried putting only the raw part on the griddle. That didn’t work. Then I tried making the batter thinner by putting less on and spreading it out more. That didn’t work either. So then I tried leaving it on for less time. And it was barely even brown. Unlike the mixes I use that give it a nice golden brown color. Would not reccomend

This is my go to recipe! Super easy! I usually make it for my girls when they have sleepovers and now their friends flat out ask for them when they make sleepover plans. I usually double the recipe, substitute whole wheat flour for half the flour an add a cap full of good vanilla extract. Sometimes I also use coconut oil in place of butter but only when I know no one has a peanut or tree nut allergy (sleepover friends; not all coconut oils are allergy safe!) Sometimes we add chocolate chips, banana slices or blueberries in the batter or sliced fresh banana or strawberries on top. Even plain, these pancakes are sooooooo good!
Rating: 5 stars 02/22/2018
My go-to breakfast recipe! When I half the recipe, the pancakes turn out denser even when I use the smallest egg in the carton. This recipe is so basic that there’s plenty of leeway! Sometimes I substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour, throw some oats in, and add a little extra milk. They always taste delicious and this recipe is super quick!
Rating: 5 stars 02/16/2018
The only thing that I changed in the recipe was that I through all of the dry ingredients in the bowl and mixed them, then instead of dirtying up a second bowl, I added the wet ingredients straight into the bowl with the dry ingredients, then I mixed everything up together. I let the batter sit about 10 minutes while my pan got nice and hot and the batter was real thick when I started cooking. There is no vanilla in this recipe, and I probably would have added some, but I am out. And still, this is the BEST pancake recipe I have ever used. I couldn’t believe how simple it is and it could be so perfect. I love things simple and awesome. This made an A+ with both. This is a keeper and the only pancake recipe I will be using from now on. I do not like relying on boxed foods. I would rather make from scratch. Now that I have this recipe, I can experiment with healthier flour options as well. I doubled it for the 5 of us who were eating and we had about 4 nice sized pancakes left over.

Made these for Shrove Tuesday and they were fine. I’m gluten-free, so I used Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Flour and added 3/4 tsp xanthan gum. Also, I separated my egg and whipped the white, folding it in after everything else was mixed. The batter seemed thin at first, but after a few moments in the bowl it thickened up. Whipping the egg whites was a new trick for me and I do think it made the pancakes fluffier. I’ll be experimenting with this recipe some more.

I made these for my niece, nephew and granddaughter. They said they were awesome and the best homemade pancakes they’ve ever had. I followed the recipe exact and they were fluffy and delicious.

As is this recipe is pretty good. It makes good tasting, super easy and quick pancakes. I don’t give 5 stars, because they aren’t very fluffy or voluminous. I’ve determined that doubling the salt to 1 teaspoon and adding a teaspoon of baking soda (in addition to the 2 teaspoons of baking powder) results in a much fluffier and more substantial pancake that is just as easy!

Oh my goodness. My husband made this for us this morning and they were great! He added chopped apples, cinnamon and vanilla. They were fluffy and kept their shape. When reading reviews remember there are many different factors and any great recipe can turn out bad from user errors! If you follow this recipe your pancakes will be great. For the review that labeled these as bland? Flour, milk and eggs don’t scream out “flavor” it is what you put on the pancake or the extra flavoring you add to the batter. This was a great recipe.

Thoroughly mediocre recipe. We followed another reviewer’s suggestions and started with only 3/4 cup of milk. Even at that, the recipe was the right pancake batter consistency before we added it all. Which means that yes, 1/2 tsp of salt is too much. They were a little too salty before adding syrup.They rose just fine, in fact, they were really thick and fluffy, but (probably since we used only about half the recommended milk) the recipe only made 2-3 pancakes. Not an epic fail, but surely not a family favorite. Does anyone test these recipes before posting?

These might have been the worse pancakes I ever made. They didn’t hold their shape whatsoever, and were dry, salty and overall unappetizing.

these really are just perfect pancakes. I used white whole wheat pastry flour and started with 3/4 cup milk (I used goat milk) and added a little more, but not a full cup. many scratch pancake recipes wind up seeming slightly rubbery - these were just right. the recipe called for more sugar than I thought was right, but they tasted (and browned) amazing. the recipe made 5 medium (5" or 6") pancakes.

These were by a wide margin the worst pancakes I’ve ever had. They came out crepe thin, dense/rubbery, and flavorless. And before anyone asks; yes, I used fresh baking powder, I am familiar with the effects of over mixing pancake batter s I mixed the batter just enough to make everything wet, and I cook on medium low heat, which is where just about any other pancake cooks perfectly on my stove. I ended up retrying the recipe and added about an extra half cup of flour, an extra egg, and vanilla, and lo and behold they were fine. Cooked up fairly thick and fluffy and actually had some taste to them. Maybe this is supposed to base batter that is easy to modify, hence the name of the recipe, but man, there needs to be a warning or something. As the recipe is listed these are just awful.

These were the best pancakes I’ve ever made. The first one I had to throw out because the skillet was not hot enough. The second one was golden brown on the edges as I added a bit of butter… After every couple of pancakes, added more butter to skillet. We topped with organic maple syrup and Devonshire cream. Thought we’d died and gone to Heaven. Bliss! The people who say this recipe didn’t turn out is because you have to have your skillet hot, melt some butter, put the batter in slowly and not too thick. We are still raving about them! Omg, Amazing.
