Love that your first batch was a little burnt-ish. The first batch never turn out the way you want them to. Double the batter. Thanks John!

It's official my new favorite Preppy Kitchen moment (replacing "mega cake pop"- if you know you know) is Ghost. I laughed out loud. Thanks, John. Awesome recipe, as always!

I just tried this Recipe and let the batter sit for 30-60min. These were AMAZING. I tried a bunch of other YouTube recipes (tasty etc) but this is definitely the best and easiest. I would be proud to serve these to anyone

I'm making this pancake recipe rn, I'm just cooking them now, and I tried one, and I've gotta say that they taste pretty good. I whoelheartedly trust every recipe you make, I love the clear instruction, no music, real time videos. Thank you for being a wonderful cook, guide, parent, and friend.

Very nice. I've been making this recipe for decades, it is very close to the version in the venerable "Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook" (with the red plaid cover) from my 1950s childhood. The big change in this version -- that I can't wait to try -- is using melted butter instead of vegetable oil. Awesome!

One other note, as per the BHG cookbook and my own experience, is that you can cut the baking powder a bit, add some baking soda, and then use buttermilk instead of whole milk. Yum! The result is an even richer and more delicious stack of pancakes.

A final note about eating these marvelous pancakes. Put a tab of butter in the middle of each pancake in the stack in addition to the top. ALWAYS use real maple syrup, lightly warmed. I've always loved to first eat around the edges, leaving the yummy center for last. Then the real treat -- the buttery center portions, all by themselves.

During blueberry season here in New England, a few plump blueberries dropped into each cake just after it hits the skillet will be nicely cooked by the time the pancakes are done.

Thanks for featuring this delicious breakfast classic.

My mother’s buttermilk pancake recipe is the best. I agree it’s always worth it to make them fresh and homemade. If we want blueberries or chocolate chips, we just sprinkle onto the pancakes while they cook.

I absolutely love your pancake recipe! We’ve made them many times and haven’t been disappointed yet!

I've added this to my recipes playlist before finishing watching. I trust you that much.

This is a simple, lovely recipe. I always add cinnamon to my pancakes, but you're right that simple is best.

[Ohheyitsyou]

I’ve been using your recipe for awhile and my family loves it! Thank you all your helpful tips

[Xaforn]

Gotta love pancake recipes! My mom spent years perfecting her own recipe and perfection it is! Her making them for our birthdays have always been extremely special, favorite toppings are syrup and butter or strawberry mixture and whipped cream! ❤

[sandramendoza]

You are truly the best. Many blessings to you and your family.

I saw this yesterday and this morning came back to make them for breakfast. I know anything you make is good, you're my go to foodie. I just love you, you're so personable....ya, I could be your mom, looking at 60 this year! I'll have to find a good cake recipe to make breakfast, I know you have at least one.🥰🤩

I’ve been making pancakes from scratch for a long time and this is the absolute best recipe! I doubled it and added 1/2 t baking soda. I needed to use up some half & half so I used that in place of milk. This will now be my go to for pancakes. Thank you for sharing!

[izziebelletorres]

Hi... So long I didn't comment. My go to pancakes are one of your recipes it does have around 5 years I think. They are awesome! The best 🥞 I ever made.
