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.)

I’ve also done my best to create a clearer, more readable post, while maintaining the gist and the feel of the original. (The original post was written quite some time back, it was mostly me rambling about how much I love pancakes!)

PrintFluffy, Fluffy Pancakes
- Total Time: 30 mins
- Yield: 6–7 Pancakes 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian
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.

imane
I always try a different recipe for pancakes but they never work out and they always taste bad but this is the first time I try it and it works, the pancakes were sooo good they were light and fluffy honestly the tips you gave were so useful.
thank you so much for the recipe.
Riz
Hi Imane, that’s such good news! I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed them, and finally found a fluffy pancake recipe you enjoy!
Patricia
Any suggestions on what other kinds of pancakes to make besides just plain?
Riz
Hi Patricia! I’ve got a few other pancake recipes which have toppings to them. My Lemon Mascarpone Pancakes and my Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes recipes are both pretty well-received by those that try them 🙂
Alexia
I decided to try the recipe exactly as I saw it and these are the fluffiest pancakes I have ever made. I did what another person said in their comments and beat the egg whites separately too. Thanks. This is what community is all about…together we can all do things better!
Wish I could show you the picture.
Riz
ahh…That’s awesome, Alexia!!! Isn’t it great when community works like that?
I’d LOVE to see the photo! You can post it on Instagram, and tag me @yamisohungry 🙂 Alternatively, feel free to DM it to me via one of my social channels.
Mariana
Perfect recipe. I followed it, didn’t change a thing, got 4 big fluffy pancakes with a touch of sweetness. Medium heat on a non-stick pan. Let it rest a few minutes and you’ll see it start bubbling, as long as your baking powder is not stale. I saved some batter in the fridge the second time I made them and it cooked beautifully the following day. Thank you.
Riz
Woohoo!!! Thanks so much for commenting, Mariana! I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed them so much. I hope you come back again, and try out a few of my other recipes too 🙂
Ang
During the global pandemic the shelves are emptied of pancake mix. I shrug and keep walking as I have this recipe that is super easy. I have made this many times and they are fluffy but today… wow. Both my husband and 8 year daughter gobbled them down. Thank you for this recipe!!
Riz
Aww! Thank you for the super sweet comment, Ang!!! I’m so happy to hear that I can help you out with fluffy pancakes that you and your family enjoy! Hope you’re keeping safe!
Valerie Toombs
The best pancakes ever!
Riz
Thank you so much for saying so, Valerie!!! Hope you come back soon for more pancake goodness! 🙂
Ely
This really turned out well for me. My daughter loves pancakes so we normally make them in batches and in mini sizes. Doubled the recipe (thank you for placing the converter there in the recipe) and managed to get about 30 mini pancakes (mind you this after she’s gobbled 8 or so pieces as I was making them). Hopefully they still stay that way after freezing them!
Riz
Woo! 30 mini pancakes sounds amazing. And I’m exactly the same – I eat the pancakes I’ve made while cooking the rest! I’ve not tried freezing these before, please do let me know how that goes for you! 🙂
Jen
I have made these 3 times with great success. Until this recipe I was never able to make decent pancakes. Now everyone loves my pancakes. Thank you so much!
Riz
Hey Jen! I’m so happy to hear this! Wishing you many delicious pancake breakfasts!
Sarah
I beat the whites and add them in last minute but other than that I haven’t changed a thing and we have had perfect Sunday pancakes 3 weeks straight! Absolutely delicious and SO fluffy! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Riz
Woo! Great job leveling up the recipe, Sarah!! So happy you’ve been enjoying the pancakes (for 3 straight weeks!!).
Thulasy
Thank you for these but on my third attempt I tried the recipe with a smidge of baking soda and minus the 2 tbsp of milk and it turned out fluffier than my first 2 attempts 😀
Riz
That’s great, Thulasy! Thanks so much for commenting!
Ann
This has been my favorite pancake recipe on the internet! I have been making for for the past 4 years and recommend it to everyone! Thank you! 🙂
Riz
4 YEARS?? Wow. That’s almost as long as the blog has been active! Thank you so much for trusting me in your kitchen. 🙂 If you get a chance, please do check out some of the other recipes, I think you’ll like them too!
Riz
Sanya
I finally know how to make pancakes right! They came out great and my whole family enjoyed them. Thank you!
Riz
I’m so happy to hear that, Sanya!! Please do check out a few other recipes on the site! (I bet everyone will love one of the French toast recipes too! :))
Chinara Adhofer
Delicious pancakes, fluffiest I’ve ever had/made, and my family makes them all the time now! Thank you!
Riz
Hi Chinara!!! That’s lovely to hear! Thank you very much for commenting 🙂
Anthoni
BEST PANCAKES. VERY FLUFFY!
Riz
Thanks so much for commenting, Anthoni! I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed the pancakes!
Jonni
I used Silk non dairy whip cream in place of milk, packed brown sugar in place if the white sugar and added a 1/4 tsp extra vanilla, plus fresh blueberries and they came out amazing. Perfect consistency on the recipe.
Riz
Woohoo! That’s great to hear, Jonni!
Elodie LOPEZ
This is hands down the best and fluffiest pancake recipe I have ever tried! Yiedls 8 pancakes so 2 breakfasts! Did it twice and I believe this will become the staple recipe! Works great with oat milk too 🙂
Riz
Hi Elodie!!! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed it!!! Hope you share some photos with me on Instagram so I can see too!! 🙂
Willa
Incredibly tender and delicious pancakes!!! They’ve got an absolutely lovely custardy flavor. Unfortunately, mine came out a little flat, but it’s probably because we’re in a humid heatwave at the moment. I will definitely try this again!
Riz
Hi Willa!!! So glad to hear you enjoyed them! If it’s super humid, toss your batter into the fridge for a little while 🙂
Ellissa
I am a former pancake shake person – the ones you just add water and shake – and pancakes have always been ‘yeah that’s pretty nice’
I decided to treat my boyfriend to pancakes but had no shaker, so after a quick google search I found this recipe.
Omg. Fool proof pancakes. Perfect every time!! I’ve been harassing my family to give it a go so we can talk about it haha they’re amazing. I love watching them rise after the first flip.
Bravo!
Riz
Ellissa! That’s so awesome to hear! I didn’t even know that adding water and shaking to prepare pancakes is a thing – I actually want to try that now! haha!
Thanks so much for visiting, and making this recipe! I hope you’ll try some of the other recipes here too! 🙂
Natalie
I am always hesitant about trying new pancake recipes because 99% of the time they do not turn out the way that the title said they would. I decided to try this recipe and they turned out AMAZING my whole family loved them.
Riz
That’s amazing, Natalie! Thanks so much for taking a chance on my recipe! I hope you nurture that adventurous spirit and try out a few more recipes now that you’re here! 🙂
Ichirako
I made this yesterday and I am so happy with the result. My cousin even asked if I beat only the white egg (like souffle pancakes) but I told her, no. I even used a very ordinary milk drink (like the one in the tetra pack for kid’s snacks) and add two tablespoons of my leftover evaporated milk. I ran out of white sugar so I used the washed sugar that I have and just adjusted another half a tablespoon. Turned out great! Thank you so so so much for generously sharing this. I will be using this as my reference for my next fluffy pancake adventure! Have a nice day, Riz! (>_<)/
Riz
Ahh! Such a lovely comment. Thank you so much for trying my recipe, I’m so happy that it turned out well for you! If you happened to take one, please do share a photo on instagram with me!
Chuhan
This just tastes like vanilla extract and the pancakes kept breaking when I cooked them.
Riz
Hi Chuhan, I’m sorry to hear this… I’m not sure what would cause the pancakes to keep breaking while cooking – Perhaps overmixing, or not being delicate enough in cooking stage. Hope your next batch turn out better!
Riz
Amy
Thank you so much for this delicious recipe. I swapped the milk for soya milk (all we had) and sugar for sweetener just for personal preference. I can honestly say these are the fluffiest and yummiest pancakes I’ve ever managed to make. The fact that they’re speedy to make, and the recipe is easy to follow is a real bonus.
Riz
Woohoo!!! That’s awesome, Amy!! I’ve not tried this recipe with soya milk before so I’m happy to hear it turned out well 🙂
Aby
I’v tried so many recipes but this one is really the best its fluffy light and really good thank you from saudi arabia
Riz
Hi Aby! Thanks for your comment. I’m so glad to hear your pancakes turned out yummy!
fatimah
made these today and they are really Fluffy
Riz
Hooray for fluffy pancakes! Thank you for commenting, Fatimah!
Bob
these are literally the best pancakes i’ve ever had, thank you so much!
Riz
Hey Bob,
Thanks so much for your comment! I’m so happy you enjoyed them!!!
Cecily
Made these- and, LOVED them. I was looking for the ones I had in Japan. But, these were just spectacular. I usually make a corn (meal) pancake that is to die for. But, this is going to be my new replacement. Question: Can you make the batter ahead of time? I have football practice in the morning, and would like to prep the batter the night before so that I can make when I get home by noon.
Thanks again!
Riz
Hi Cecily! That’s amazing to hear!!! Yes, you can make the batter the night before and refrigerate – it should be fine 🙂
By the way, if you’re looking for Japanese-style pancakes, you might like my Fluffy Japanese Pancakes recipe.
Ashley Huhndorf
Do you know if I can make the batter ahead of time and keep in the fridge?
Riz
Hi Ashley! Yes, I think you’ll be okay making the batter the night before and keeping it in the fridge.
Lexi
Thank YOU so much for posting this!
I used this recipe for as long as i could remember, MY mom always asks me to make the pancakes now hehe
I will make sure to check out your other recipe and try them too!
Riz
Hi Lexi!! Thank you so much for trusting me enough to try out my recipe. I’m so so glad to hear you enjoy it, and have stuck with it!!
And yes! Please do check out some of my other recipes too. (I have a bunch of pancake recipes that you might enjoy if you’re ever looking to mix it up a bit!)
Riz
Raluca
Indeed, the best fluffy pancakes EVER…
After trying SOOOO many recipes, I finally found THE ONE.
Thank you!
Riz
Awww…Thanks so much, bestie!
Isabelle Tremblay
First time, super easy, 6 little fluffy pancakes using 1/4 cup. Love it! Thank you for the recipe
Riz
Yaay! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it, Isabelle!! Hopefully you come back soon and try some more recipes!
Darcie
This is now my Go To recipe for pancakes, Nothing else I’ve ever made has even come close to how these turn out. The whole family requests them, including my super picky grandson!
Riz
That’s amazing to hear, Darcie!!! I’m so happy to hear everyone enjoyed it so much!!!
krie
way way way too much baking powder. these are the worst pancakes I’ve ever had.
Riz
Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy it, Krie. Hope you find a recipe you enjoy!
L.W.
I love this recipe!!! The pancakes turned out really fluffy, and yummy. I swapped out the regular milk for almond milk, (it was the only milk I had) and I didn’t have vanilla extract. But aside from that I followed the recipe completely, and made really amazing pancakes!!! Thank you so much for this recipe!!!😁💖😋
Riz
Hi L.W.! So glad the recipe worked out for you! And yaay! I love almond milk, so I’m glad to hear that managed to successfully substitute it into this recipe!
Riz
Molly Williams
We have made this recipe for many years now. Definitely best pancake recipe on the internet. The tips are so helpful. Anyone having trouble should read those first!
Molly and Bill
Riz
Ahh!!! I’m so happy to read this. Thanks so much for commenting Molly and Bill!
Ava Liang
I currently don’t have any type of butter in my fridge. Is it possible to substitute it for canola oil? Love how simple this recipe is!! 💗
Riz
Hi Ava! I’m afraid I’m not sure…the recipe *should* still make pancakes, but I’m not sure how the canola oil will affect the flavour, texture, or the fluffiness. Let me know how it turns out if you do try it! Good luck!
Aaishah
Thank you for this recipe!
It’s extremely easy and came out perfect 👌 I can safely say it the best pancake I’ve eaten.
Riz
I’m so happy to hear this!! Thank you for your lovely comment Aaishah! I hope you try out some more of my recipes, I think you’ll enjoy them too!
Rida
I’ve been using this recipe for a year and it’s always been fail proof!!! I’ve tried many others, but nothing works as well. This recipe is also so forgiving!!- swap the flour for rye flour, replace butter with oil, milk with water – it’s always great!!
Riz
Hi Rida! Thanks so much for your very helpful comment! I’m so glad this recipe has worked so well for you for so long!
(I hope you try out a few of my other recipes too…I think you’d enjoy them!)
Reina De Guzman
I have made this many times love it ! Thanks Riz
Just 1 question can i use corn flour instead of plain flour? I have my friend coming over for brunch and i am thinking of making your fluffy pancake but he eats only gluten free so i thought about swapping it with corn flour.
What do you think??
Thanks
Reina
Riz
Hi Reina!! Thanks for your comment, and thank you for using this recipe so many times!
I’ve never tried making this with corn flour, but I’ve seen quite a few comments saying that they’ve been able to replace the flour, and still get fairly fluffy pancakes! Good luck if you do go ahead and try, let me know if it works!!
Riz
Zaina
Hi I would try it
Musical Spoons
Yay! I tried this earlier but substituting Greek yoghurt thinned with some milk, and leaving out the sugar and vanilla (because I didn’t think they’d go with the tang of the yoghurt). I don’t really know what the texture of fluffy pancakes should be so I don’t know how my modifications affected it, but I really liked them! The baking powder probably helped mitigate some of the heaviness of the yoghurt.
Incidentally, I forgot that the butter was going into cold liquid so it resolidified into lumps! But after leaving the batter to sit – and it’s a warm day – I didn’t notice any lumps when I cooked the pancakes.
(For any UK readers, I used 120g flour and the milk/yoghurt was ~190g.)
Riz
Hello!!! So glad to hear you enjoyed it! 🙂
J. vasquez
I don’t know if it was my baking powder but man they taste funny. Fluffy for sure and they taste really good at the begining but there’s a weird aftertaste on them. I added more sugar more flour to the last one and still couldnt get rid of it. otherwise it’s pretty accurate on the fluffy part XD
Riz
Hi there! I’m sorry to hear that, I’m not sure what it could have been – I would *guess* it was a baking powder issue (or potentially milk?). Hope you enjoy them more next time!
Ximena
Hadn’t made them in a while and boy was I missing out. Had been eating spinach, protein pancakes and they should not be legally allowed to be called pancakes >_< but these definitely made up for that torture.
Riz
Hello! I know what you mean…every once in a while, I’ll go on a healthier version binge, and coming back to this makes it all so much sweeter!
(If you want a slightly healthier option – that tastes quite different – you can check out my Sweet Potato Pancakes recipe. Or hang tight…protein pancakes are somewhere in my queue of recipes to work on!)
Kristen
Perfect fluffy and light pancakes! I use a sandwich press (opened) to cook my pancakes so they’re at the perfect temperature from the first one. I also separated my egg and whisked the white to stiff peaks and folded it in at the end. My partner said they were super light like hot cakes at McDs haha.
Riz
Whoo! Love the idea of using an open sandwich press. So glad you and your partner enjoyed the recipe, Kristen!
Elsa
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made this recipe. Perfect pancakes everytime, I love it! Thank you!
Riz
Hi Elsa! That’s so wonderful to hear!!! Wishing you many happy pancake breakfasts!
Riz
Fanni
OMG! This recipe truly perfect! I could make really fluffy pancakes according to description! And also the suggestions were verily useful about “why are my pancakes flat?”!
Thank you so much! Surely I save the recipe! 🙂
Riz
Thanks so much, Fanni!! I’m very happy you found the tips useful. Please be sure to check the site for any other recipes you’re interested in 🙂
Judy Morgan
I have also tried many pancake recipes & this is by far the best one I’ve tried. They are light & fluffy & so delicious so this will be the recipe I use from now on.
Riz
Ahh…so happy to hear this Judy! (There are a few other pancake recipes on the site, so if you’re ever craving a change…be sure to check those out as well 🙂 )
Amy Granacki
These are the best pancake base ever. Only thing I do differently is add cinnamon. Besides that they are great. Only pancake I make now. Freeze great for my kids to warm up before school. Easy to have dry and wet separate and take camping! Thanks so much!!
Riz
Hi Amy! So happy to hear this. I add cinnamon every once in a while too! 🙂
Joffre
Another trick is to separate the egg and after all ingredients are mixed fold in the beaten egg white
Riz
Yes, that’s definitely another way to go! I use that method in some of my other pancake recipes 🙂
Fish
These pancakes soak up syrup really well, even though I forgot to reduce liquid for adding fruit. 10/10, would pancake again.
Riz
Hi there! Thank you for commenting. I’m happy to hear you enjoyed them!
Lisa Spencer
Why on earth are you such a buttermilk basher? Have you ever been to the south? I always have buttermilk in my fridge. I use it for pancakes and biscuits. You need to get out more often.
Riz
Hi Lisa,
…I’m not bashing buttermilk.
Outside of the south…and more so, outside of North America, buttermilk is very difficult to find. In England and Europe, it’s available in only some select stores. Whereas in Asia and Africa, it’s almost impossible to find.
And I think everyone should be able to have fluffy pancakes, wouldn’t you agree? 🙂
Dimi
Sorry but this recipe doesn’t work… they were way too watery….
Riz
Sorry to hear it didn’t work for you, Dimi…generally if the batter has become watery, it’s probably been mixed a bit too much. It should be quite lumpy. Best of luck!
Ellen Stutes
I made these this morning for. Special Sunday breakfast for the hubster and me….best pancakes EVER! They ere light and fluffy – made 5 pancakes plus a little one for me to taste! I made them following the recipe but, since I actually had buttermilk, I used it. Buttered my griddle to cook them and the result was outstanding! Thanks for the recipe; it’ll be my go-to from now on!
Riz
Hi Ellen, thanks so much for your comment! I’m so glad it turned out well using buttermilk too! 🙂
Leticia
Made the recipe but was too much milk, next time less milk. But really tasty and the kids loved them! Will defiantly use again! Thanks 🙂
Riz
Glad you enjoyed it Leticia!
