These super fluffy pancakes are sure to be a showstopper at your next brunch party! This recipe is quick, easy, and doesn’t require any buttermilk!
This post is all about teaching you how to make thick, airy pancakes without the need for special equipment or buttermilk. And while there is a recipe, I urge you to read through the entire post – the truth of it is, making wondrous pancakes is very do-able however, there is some knowledge and technique involved!
Don’t worry…it’s not going to feel like you’re stuck in chemistry class. It’s just some basic tips and explanations that often get overlooked when it comes to making pancakes at home.

Life is all about yummy fluffy pancakes.
Admit it, a world without pancakes would be bleak, maybe not even worth living in. You love pancakes, don’t you? You do. It’s okay, I do too. My favourite thing about pancakes (other than eating them, of course!) is watching maple syrup drip off the edges of my pancake tower, like some sort of sun-kissed waterfall.
Fluffy pancakes are one of my all-time favourite Sunday morning breakfast treats. The problem is that a lot of great pancake recipes call for buttermilk. (Honestly, who keeps buttermilk at home? Is that a North American thing?)
Without it, you can end up with a flat, lifeless pancake that looks too much like a lost crepe. Here’s a quick and easy recipe to make super fluffy pancakes with ingredients you probably already have at home. Never buy that horrid box of premix again. Please.
Can you make Fluffy Pancakes without buttermilk?
In short, yes. This pancake recipe uses no buttermilk at all (it does require regular milk though). So, you may ask, what’s the deal with buttermilk? Well, it’s terribly in vogue when it comes to baking. And there’s a reason for it. The acidity in buttermilk helps the pancakes rise.
On the flip side, I’ve never known anyone to regularly stock up on buttermilk. In fact, until I moved to Canada, I had never even seen buttermilk… not even at a supermarket!
(If you’re ever in a real pinch – you can create your own buttermilk alternative by mixing a cup of milk with a tablespoon of white vinegar and letting it sit for 10 minutes. Perhaps less conventionally, you could also use a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice instead of vinegar. Neither option tastes as good as the real thing, but they’ll do the trick. Thankfully, with this recipe – you won’t need to!)
Now, if you do happen to have buttermilk, you can give this Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes recipe a shot!
Why are my pancakes flat? How can I make my pancakes fluffier?
There are a number of factors that can lead to your pancakes being flat. But here are the four horsemen of the pancake apocalypse (pancalypse…panpocalypse…pancakalypse…help):
- Overmixing your batter – overmixing your pancake batter will deflate a lot of the air bubbles in your batter, making it difficult for your pancakes to rise into the light and fluffy pancakes you want (the video in my recipe section is an example of this!). Secondly, it’ll develop gluten. And too much gluten will result in a tough, chewy pancake.
- Stale Baking Powder – baking powder typically has a shelf life of 9 months to a year. To check whether your baking powder is still fresh, simply stir half a teaspoon of baking powder into a cup of water. If you see an immediate reaction (it’ll fizz up, bestie!), then it’s still good to use. If not, you should consider replacing it.
- Humid Conditions – This is based on an observation made by many of my readers (you can see it mentioned in the comments section below). But a very humid kitchen results in a runnier batter, which means less fluffy pancakes. If you happen to be in a place that is very humid, try putting your batter in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to make sure it doesn’t become too fluid/runny.
- Not Letting Your Batter Rest – Letting your batter rest before cooking allows the starch granules in the flour to expand resulting in an airier pancake.
- The Violent Flip – Turn the pancakes over gently. Flipping them high into the air results in the air literally being squished out of them!
Also…make sure to relax, bestie. Making pancakes should be a pleasurable experience! And this fluffy pancake recipe is simple; it doesn’t require any fancy steps (like whipping egg whites into a meringue). Be mindful of the tips above, and pay attention to your heat management, and you’re sure to be fine.
(If you want to do a little reading, check out my How to Read a Recipe Post – it’ll help you understand the procedures and the measurements used in a recipe post, like this one!)
Of course, if you do end up burning your first pancake, just remember what they say: “Le première crepe est pour les chiens!” (A French saying meaning, “The first crepe is for the dogs!”).
How to make fluffy pancakes with pancake mix
While this post is really about homemade pancakes without buttermilk, a lot of readers have asked me if it’s possible to make fluffy pancakes using pancake mix. The answer is…yes! Absolutely.
Generally speaking, I find buttermilk pancake mixes are better for this. What you want to make sure is that you follow the recipe on the box exactly, and also keep the tips mentioned above in mind.
Getting fuller pancakes is just as much about technique as it is about components, and if you go rogue on either thing, it becomes just that much harder to get that perfect result!
Storage instructions
Though they are best served fresh and warm, these pancakes can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Store your maple syrup separately (and not on top of the pancakes), so that it doesn’t soak through.
Other no-buttermilk pancake recipes
Here are four other amazing pancake recipes that don’t require any buttermilk at all. Each one is unique, and delicious!
- Lemon Mascarpone Pancakes – perfect for days when you’re looking to impress with an elegant pancake recipe.
- Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes – this is the pancake you serve when you want everyone to spend the first 5 minutes of the meal taking photos of the food.
- Dutch Baby Pancake – a pancake with a twist! Quick and simple to make.
- Fluffy Japanese Pancakes – taking a bite out of these meringue-based babies is like eating a delicious cloud! (Yes, they spark joy.)

Description
A surefire recipe to make fat and fluffy pancakes, without any buttermilk or special ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour, sifted
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- Pinch of Salt
- 2 tbsp White Sugar
- ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoon Milk
- 1 Large Egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- Canola Oil (or any other vegetable oil), for cooking
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder into a bowl and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, mix the egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter together. Be careful not to use hot, melted butter, as that may end up cooking your eggs!
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and stir till mostly incorporated. The batter should be thick and a little lumpy, but without any visible streaks of flour. If it is too thick to work with, add a little milk. Set the batter aside for 5-10 minutes.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed, non-stick pan over a low-medium heat and coat it with oil. Use a ¼ cup measure to scoop and drop the batter into the pan so that you get evenly-sized pancakes.
- Cook until the first side is golden brown, or until the top surface forms bubbles. Flip and repeat on the other side. Adjust heat accordingly. Serve while still hot.

Yaay! Thank you for commenting!
Greg H
YES. YES. YES!
THEY WERE PERFECT!
Riz
Yes, yes, yes! Thank you!
Ryan Painter
Tried these today but they seem to have not fluffed up at all. Not sure what I did wrong.
Riz
Hi Ryan! I’m not sure what it could have been – from my experience, the problem is usually overmixing the batter (which is quite easy to do); it needs to be barely incorporated 🙂
Linda Holwerda
My girls and husband loved them! I have tried countless recipes and this one worked , there was one other that
worked sometime ago {MIA} . We are so please to find something we ALL enjoy!
Thank you !
Riz
Woohoo!!! So glad all of you enjoyed this one!! 🙂
Moo
Cool Recipe
Riz
Thanks!
Jenny
These are the best. My family loved them. My two year old wanted to add the baking powder. I thought he might of added too much. We skipped the sugar. They were great with syrup. Thank you.
Riz
Thanks so much for sharing Jenny! I’m very happy to hear that your family loved this recipe!
Muna

Katrina Bryant
Thank you for the super easy and deliciously fluffy pancakes! The kids loved them!
Riz
Hi Katrina! How lovely! I’m super glad your kids loved them!!
Kate
Could you possibly let me know the ingredients in grams please. Here in the UK we do not really jnderstand cups. They do look so delicious so would love to make them!
Riz
Hi there Kate,
I’m not 100% sure since I’ve not weighed out my ingredients in a long time (I actually think it’s a much better method, but it’s not used much here in N. America). Based on some conversions I’ve worked out; approximately:
128g All-Purpose Flour, sifted
8g Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
30g White Granulated Sugar
215g Milk
1 Large Egg, beaten
28g Unsalted Butter, melted
5g Pure Vanilla Extract
Let me know if the above conversions work out for you!
Riz
Kate
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I cant wait to test these out at the weekend! Xxxxx
Riz
I hope it turns out perfect!! 🙂
Sowbaranya
Thanks for a perfect recipe..my pancakes came out to be really awesome…And a nice selection of blog title too
Riz
Thanks! I’m so glad you liked it!
nihan
Hello, this is my third time trying this and my pancakes are always flat. I totally am missing a point but what? I read the comments also, and I see that the batter should be thick I guess? My batter was very fluid each time, and I usually end up adding extra flour and while trying to combine it I might be overworking the batter. I assume the measurements (1 cup) is different in my country. Can you please tell them in gr or oz as well? I still didn’t give up!
Riz
Hi there Nihan,
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having trouble with the recipe (you’ve tried it three times… Thank you so much for sticking with it!). The batter should definitely be thick, and a bit lumpy. Overmixing tends to be the reason most people’s batter becomes too fluid. I can understand that it’s a bit of a tricky step – I overmixed batter many times in the past until I started telling myself “a few small streaks of flour is okay”. Another issue can be the heat/humidity in your kitchen – if that’s a possibility, then try refrigerating the batter before frying up the pancakes! Here are the recipe measurements in grams (I hope I’ve converted them correctly), thank you for not giving up (and I hope you get the pancakes you so deserve!!):
128g All-Purpose Flour, sifted
8g Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
30g White Granulated Sugar
215g Milk
1 Large Egg, beaten
28g Unsalted Butter, melted
5g Pure Vanilla Extract

Allison
Thank you for this recipe! I just made them and they were excellent:-) My pancakes usually turn out more like crepes, so these were my first fluffy pancakes, and my husband loved them. I use skim milk, so I only used 3/4 cup milk, if you don’t use whole milk, you just have to use less milk or you get crepes.
Riz
You’re very welcome Allison! So glad it worked out for you, and great tip about the milk too 🙂
Lucy
I think I died and went to pancake heaven! I like to think of myself as a pancake officianado this is by far the best pancake i have made in my entire life. So fluffy and tasty! I used vanilla bean pàste cut the recipe in half and use one whole small egg and this came out perfectly. Drizzled with honey and homemade salted caramel sauce. Just devoured with a cup of coffee. Yum yum. Well done!!!!
Now this is my tip for those complaining of flat pancakes – make sure your baking powder is still active, DO NOT OVERMIX. I cant even stress this enough. And start with a meduim low heat. Hope this helps
Riz
Hello Lucy! Thank you for your wonderful comment. I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe so much, I love how you personalised it with honey and homemade salted caramel sauce (send me a photo!). It sounds delicious!
And great tips too. For the longest time, I didn’t even realise that baking powder can become stale. And overmixing is really the enemy when it comes to thick fluffy pancakes!
Riz
Lucy
Hi Riz,
I’m afraid I gobbled them up before I remembered to take pictures lol.
Riz
No worries Lucy, the important thing is that you enjoyed them! 🙂
Lucy
I made them for my mam ! They’re the best!
Riz
Yaay! Thank you!
brinacyl
please help ! my pancakes came out flat 🙁 the only change that i made was to substitute plain milk with buttermilk ( i used milk & lemon juice) and also flipped them over once the bubbles stopped forming. many thanks
Riz
Oh no! This recipe is supposed to be made with regular milk! I’m not sure if that’s what has affected your results… It’s also possible that the batter was overmixed (it shouldn’t be a fluid, it should be lumpy). For Buttermilk pancakes, I’d recommend my Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes recipe. Hope that helped!
brinacyl
i will give it a try with milk and let you know 🙂
brinacyl
just made them & they came out flat, again ! sorry but i will have to try some other recipe. thank you for posting this 🙂
Riz
Aww, I’m sorry to hear that. Thanks for letting me know. Good luck in your search! 🙂
Debbie Blair
I love this recipe! I had been trying to find the recipe I used for years, I found yours. So glad I did!
I follow the recipe as directed but I add a pinch of nutmeg and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. So good and soooo fluffy! When I ran out of milk I used a can of evaporated milk. It just added a touch of sweetness.
Thank you so very much!
Riz
Ahh! I so happy to hear it, I hope you use it for years to come 🙂
Klaudia
Awesome pancake recipe. I made them this morning with my daughter and husband. We love fluffy “diner style” pancakes but it isn’t ideal to go to a restaurant too often. Now we can enjoy them in the comfort of our own home.
Thank You!
Riz
Hooray! I’m so happy that you and your family enjoy these pancakes, I hope the recipe serves you well for years to come 🙂
Carrie
TERRIBLE!!!!!!!! Flat eat pancakes I have ever made .
Riz
Hi Carrie,
Sorry to hear that the pancakes came out flat for you. If you look through the comments here, there are a lot of troubleshooting tips so that you get fluffy ones next time!
Juana
Tried it! Taste great! Kids went for more! Unfortunately they didn’t come out fluffy and pretty like your ?…one day I’ll have fluffy pancakes…until then these will be my go to:-)
Thank you!
Riz
Woohoo! So great that you and your kids love the taste! As for the fluffiness, take a look through the comments thread – there might be a solution that will help out 🙂
(Or hold tight…I’m planning to write a big Pancakes Tips post soon…ish :P)
milly
they were amazing! just like the photos! I had mine with chocolates and raspberries and i’m going to make it again this weekend! thank you!
Riz
Chocolates and raspberries?? Oh my!! That sounds positively scrumptious! Thank you for your comment Milly!
Eff Jay
It is nice and soft. But didn’t turn out as fluffy and pillowy looking as per your pictures.How do i get it to be high rise like yours?
Riz
Hey Eff Jay,
I’m not sure why your pancakes didn’t rise as I don’t know the specifics of when you cooked – but it could be due to a few different things: the batter could have been overmixed; baking powder may have been stale; the kitchen might have just been too hot/humid! Hopefully one of these things may sound like a possibility and help you out 🙂
Aki
Hi!
I tried this recipe 2 times and the results were wonderful!
They taste so good 😀
However, why weren’t the pancakes fluffy and tall like yours?
Mine turned out to be a little bit fluffy, but not as fluffy as yours.
Riz
Hi Aki! I’m glad you really enjoy this recipe! I’m not sure why yours didn’t turn out quite as thick as mine, there are a number of factors that may have been the cause.
A lot of other lovely readers have commented here with solutions – have a look a see if anything rings true 🙂
Riz
Frank gutierrez
All I can say is WOW,,, I had tried everything that I could imagine and nothing worked, I was trying to please my wife with pancakes and of course she would tell me they were good, but when I made your recipe she told me ,, you finally got it right, and of course I did not tell her what I had done, but then she told me to publish the recipe , so I had to confess, she told me to thank you and I thank you, Best pancakes ever!!!!! Thanks again
Riz
Hi there Frank! Thanks so much for telling me your story!!! How fantastic! I’m so glad you and your wife love the pancakes!!!
(Look how many exclamation marks I’ve used!!!)
Riz (!)
Erik I.
Best pancakes I’ve ever made! My daughter is already asking me for more – I made it only this morning!
Riz
Hi Erik,
So glad to hear you and your daughter like the pancakes!! Thank you for commenting!
Riz
Cloud
Yo! these pancakes were good and I am notorious for messing up pancakes! Thanks so much for posting this ;3;
Riz
Yo!! Thanks so much for commenting, I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed them!!! 🙂
Meira
These worked SOOOOO well for me! Thank you sooo much. It was hard for me to find a recipe without buttermilk, and this was perfect.
Riz
Hi Meira! Thank you for commenting!! I’m soooo glad to hear it worked well for you!
Riz
Ivena
Hi there, I tried this recipe and pancakes turned out way too salty. We never used any salt or salted butter. Any possible explanations? Even made it twice! Both cases were the same.. What brand of baking powder did you use?
Riz
Hi Ivena, I’m not sure what the reason could be – the baking powder might be the culprit. I don’t stick to any particular brand of baking powder – just whichever I happen to have on hand at the time. I’m assuming you’ve not made any substitutions, so I can’t think of why they may come out too salty. It’s quite a strange result!
Alisa Routh
I just had these for dinner and I must say they were pretty amazing. I have been on a search for a while to make pancakes as fluffy as IHOP and I think I’ve tried over 10 different recipes. This one is the best by far. Thanks so much.
Riz
Hi Alisa! That’s awesome! I’m so glad this recipe worked so well for you!
Kathy
I made these pancakes this morning and they are THEE best!!!!!! Light, fluffy, great texture and flavor! I made it exactly according to the recipe. This will be my go to recipe for pancakes! My family ate them up quickly!!!!!! Thank you!!!
Riz
Hi there Kathy! YAAY! I’m so glad you found my recipe and that you/your family loved the pancakes! Hope it serves you well!
Indra Kabir
still my favorite!
Riz
Aww, thank you! Mine too 🙂
Michael
This is without doubt the BEST fluffy pancakes recipes!
Riz
Thanks Michael! I appreciate it 🙂
schilpa
Hi,
Thank you for posting this easy and delicious pancake recipe! It made lovely,fluffy pancakes.I added crushed walnuts and chocolate chips 🙂
Riz
Hi Schilpa,
Thanks for your comment! Crushed walnuts and chocolate chips sounds like a delicious addition… I’m going to try that out myself! Thanks for the idea! ?
Soph
I made this with chocolate chip and birthday cake sprinkles! It was amazing!! DEFINITELY the BEST recipe out there!
Riz
Chocolate chip and sprinkles sounds AMAZING! Thanks for enjoying the recipe Soph!
Aimee
Made these tonight and YUM! So fluffy and buttery. This recipe is a keeper.
Riz
Woohoo!! Thanks for letting me know Aimee!
Galen Hall
I tried your recipe and although they tasted great, they did not raise up anything like the picture posted. Seems to me like 3/4 + 2 tbsp of milk is a lot for just 1 cup of flour, and then adding the egg, butter, and vanilla, just too much liquid as the batter was almost like water. Don’t know what I did wrong but if I try this recipe again, going to cut the milk to 1/4 cup and if the batter is too thick, add the tbsp or 2 extra.
Riz
Hey Galen! Thanks for commenting! I hope you got the fluffiness you wanted with your second attempt!
Niani
Is it possible to freeze this batter? Or the pancakes?
Riz
Oooh! Good question! I assume the batter should freeze just as well as any other batter, though I’ve not tried it myself. Let me know how it goes 🙂
Jojo
Omg it was so deadly my mom and step dad and baby bro loved it so yeah i use this resipi all the time when i make pancakes
Riz
That’s awesome Jojo!
Victoria
Perfect fluffy pancakes! I added blueberries and was inspired to make my own syrup. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Riz
Mmm yummy! I love adding blueberries to this recipe! Tell me about what syrup you made, I’d love to try it out too 🙂
J Chris Kantarian
perfect fluff, rise. wonderful inside and with a slight crispiness,but the baking soda that worked so well left a bitter aftertaste that was overwelming. any remedies?
Riz
Hi there! I’m sorry but I’ve not experienced the aftertaste… another user commented that they had it too and was able to solve the problem by using a different baking soda. Maybe that may work for you too 🙂
Yael Greenhalgh
Ok, I never *never* leave comments, mostly because I’m lazy but I had to today. I commend you! These pancakes are fluffy and airy and heart warming for sure!
I doubled the recipe up and it made about 10 4 1/2″ pancakes!
Thank you so much!
Riz
Hey Yael! That’s great!!! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
Jocelyn
Can the butter in this recipe be substituted with oil? My mother tried replacing butter with oil in a recipe for making bread, and it worked like a charm, so I’m wondering if it’s the same with pancakes.
Riz
Hi Jocelyn,
I’ve never actually tried it myself, but I have a friend who regularly makes that change to the recipe, and is happy with how it turns out 🙂 so I assume, it should work fine.
Jocelyn
Made them today!! My mom, dad and sis loved them! They were absolutely delicious! I’m just wondering why they came out flat… Anyways, gonna save this recipe for every holiday!
Riz
Hey again! Glad they turned out tasty!! I can’t say for sure why they didn’t fluff up, but the culprit is usually an overmixed batter or the baking soda. Hope that helps!
Riz
Lina
Tried them 3 times now and they’re perfect everytime !
Riz
Thanks for using the recipe so regularly Lina!!! That’s amazing news 🙂
Lisa Charles
Hi,
Made these this morning, soooooo good!! I’m definitely cooking this every Sunday morning. Going to be a staple in my classic things to make. Will be checking out your other recipes for hidden gems.
Lisa.
Riz
Ahh! Amazing news Lisa!! Thanks for sharing, and I hope you and your family enjoy them for years to come!
Riz
Katrina
The taste was good but they weren’t as fluffy or fluffy at all. I’ll add more baking powder next time.
Riz
Hi there! Glad you enjoyed the taste! The fluffiness can be effected by the baking powder (though using too much may result in a strange taste!)… more often than not, I find the culprit to be a case of an overmixed batter. Good luck with fluffiness!
Teri
I agree. No over-mixing. I start out with the 3/4 c. of milk, then add another tbl. and the second tbl. of milk if it looks like it will be too thick. I think you can tell if it will be too thick after the second “stir” of the batter. That’s one way I avoid over-mixing. Second, another way to avoid over-mixng, IMO, is to use a large spoon to stir, NOT a whisk or a spatula. That way, you get some little lumps of flour, and that’s good for pancakes. And third, ALWAYS let the batter sit 5-10 min. in the fridge before cooking. The batter gets thicker that way, resulting in higher pancakes. Hope these tips work for you.
Riz
That’s some great advice Teri! Thank you!!
Kirsten
These are the fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever made, and I’ve tried a LOT of recipes. I suspect taking time to sift the flour (and I added the baking powder to the sifter) makes a big difference. I’m going to write this recipe in my recipe book so we never lose it!
Thanks!
(And, we live at nearly 7000ft in Colorado.)
Riz
Woohoo!!! So glad to be a part of your home’s recipe book!! 🙂
Shasha
These pancakes were delicious and really fluffy! Make sure you dont overmix them though. That’s how you end up with tough pancakes.
Riz
Great advice Shasha! I agree! Overmixed pancakes are 🙁
Stella
So important to let the butter cool down as much as possible. I thought mine was cool and as soon as that cold milk hit it, the butter hardened. There were so many butter chunks in my batter, that luckily went away once it cooked. But I was skeptical! Next time, I might also warm up the milk just a tad. I really tried not to overmix and they still weren’t quite as fluffy as yours.
Riz
Hi Stella,
Yes, it’s important to use warm melted butter to avoid the butter chunks you mentioned – I’ve never seen melted butter turn into chunks when put into milk though, that must’ve been some cold milk!!! Room temperature is always a good bet 🙂
Tereza (CZ)
I made these pancakes this morning and OH GOD THEY WERE AMAZING !!! thank you for this recipe ?
Riz
Thanks Tereza!! I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
Adrian Padula
This is a great recipe Riz! I actually added 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and aded a bit more milk as the batter was a bit thick. Very fluffy and very tasty!
Riz
So glad to hear you enjoyed it Adrian!
