Brian is not exaggerating, these are seriously the best pancakes ever. I followed the recipe exactly, except I cut it in half since it is just me an my husband. Timings were perfect, couldn't tell the batter had been super lumpy, they were so tender but kept the sky-high fluffiness developed in the pan, and didn't need any fat for cooking despite my old non-stick pans. We both thought they had great butter flavor even without adding butter after cooking. I always have these ingredients on hand too, so I can make pancakes whenever my husband asks now. Thanks Bri!
Tried these today and they were, in fact, the best homemade pancakes I've EVER had. Thanks for including metric measurements, it was easy to scale down to 25% with 1 egg for one person!
This video makes me feel like it was created just for me. I had asked about a pancake recipe a while back during a q&a episode, and here it is. Thanks Bri!
Brian I made this for my roommates tonight and they were fantastic! Every fiber of my being was telling me to keep stirring the batter, but leaving it ugly and lumpy truly made the best pancakes I’ve ever made at home. Thanks so much!
@@MustaphaHamoui I pretty much followed exactly how much he stirred, even looking to make sure my batter looked similar to in the video. However there was probably a good 5 minutes spent getting the skillets out and preheated, getting a spatula, and setting the table before I actually used the batter. Maybe that resting period allowed the pockets of dry batter to get a little saturated? I can’t say for sure, but I hope you have better luck in the future!
Another use for leftover pancakes -- layer with fresh fruit and whipped cream to make dessert "shortcakes." Strawberries are delicious this way, along with blueberries and peaches. I look forward to using this recipe for breakfast, then the leftovers for dessert after supper. Thanks, Brian!
I rode a bicycle from Yorktown, VA to Astoria, OR in 2008 and noticed the further West I went the bowls of soup got smaller and the pancakes got bigger. Love this recipe. Cheers!
Oh man! Just tried these and they are LEGIT! Thank you, Brian! We love your videos. But PLEASE bring the dancing back at the end. It was the perfect little cherry on top! 😊
Great recipe!!! So I prepped for a family restaurant known for their pancakes. I was happy to see you warning against over stirring. At my job we would then rest the batter for at least 2 hours to allow the flour to plump up and let the clumps kinda work themselves out. It also gives more time for the leavener to bubble up. Then you get the second leavening action when you cook it due to the baking soda. Not always feasible in a home pancake situation, but occasionally I will think of it and make the batter ahead of time. Makes them even more tender and fluffy. As if this recipe needs that lol.
one tip for pancake amateurs: the levening agents react to acid, that's what buttermilk does with it's acidity. If you don't have buttermilk you can use milk with some vinegar or lemon. Mix them together and let the milk thicken and curdle a bit then use it like buttermilk. If you don't have milk use water + acid. It will still work but the taste will be much ''lighter'' because you lack the flavour and the proteins of milk.
This was a great video, really cool that you showed clips of other methods and the results you get from doing it that way. This is why I love your stuff. Now please make a beef Wellington!!
I worked in food service for over a decade and have been making pancakes for even longer, but using this video as a guideline did yield the most fluffy, soft pancakes I've ever had.
Made these tonight! They were very good. Made nice thick fluffy pancakes. If u buy a 1/2 gallon of buttermilk, it’s the perfect amount for doubling the recipe. I added blueberries. Spectacular!
My four year old and I made these this morning! Delish!! I had to cut the recipe in half, I'm glad I did because I used a 1/4 cup of batter for our pancakes, and we got more than a dozen out of it!! These were so fluffy yet substantial!! We loved them because we love peanut butter and maple syrup on our pancakes and these can take it! and yet stay fluffy. Two thumbs up!
Anytime I do pancakes, I use the electric griddle. I can get consistent results and everybody is happy. Also, correct cook time is singing the Spongbob Squarepants theme song with your kid, slowly. Recipe looks great, but lotta work for a Sunday morning, sticking with Biskwik for now, may try this winter when I sometimes do breakfast-for-dinner.
Measure and mix the dry ingredients the night before to make the morning prep go quicker. Buttermilk pancakes make Bisquick seem like a different food.
In addition to an amazing pancake recipe, that might be greatest breakfast sandwich I've ever seen. Seriously, I'm contemplating making the pancakes just to try that sandwich.
Brian, every time I think you've posted the best recipe you follow up with something that looks even more spectacular. Your pancakes will be served at my house this weekend. Thank you, sir.
I've just made this batter and cooked the first two pancakes and they're just so light (but still with nice bite texture) and flavoursome. Can always rely on Brian's recipes! Thank you!!!!
Brian, I managed a large resort restaurant back in the 1990s. After we were up and running, I would have my breakfast back in the kitchen. I always had the pancakes. They were light and fluffy just like my dad made them on Sunday mornings. When I finally asked our cook for his recipe, he had me watch him. I was astonished! Turns out, the kitchen staff used only two ingredients: Aunt Jemima Complete pancake mix and WATER. Not milk. From this base, you can add whatever you like…bananas, blueberries, strawberries…but the base alone is good enough. When I questioned the owner (who grew up in the restaurant) he told me they always did pancakes this way. And I still do them that way to this day. They are good enough to eat right off the griddle-sans butter, sans syrup, sans fruit… And needless to say, cleanup is a breeze. My Dad never had it as easy!
It would make sense not to add milk to the Complete mix. They probably didn't add eggs either! Nor leavening to the self-rising flour if they used that...but they probably used Bisquick complete for the biscuits!
Love this recipe, I've made it about 6 times since you've posted this video. Only a couple slight modifications - I zested 2 lemons, substituted 150g of buttermilk for 150g of ricotta, added 4 teaspoons of vanilla, and some blueberries, and now I have now created the GOAT Lemon Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes..of all time.
B LAG....HOLY MOLY Bro! These were FIRE. (sorry borrowing vernacular from my kids) I've been making pancakes for over 30 years and have searched for the best recipe high and low as well as my own experiments. Problem is, I'm not a chef. So I'll leave the experimenting to the professionals! And B LAG, you're a professional! Thank you for this one my man. And thank you for all of them. Love your channel. Love your style. Love your food!
Hey Bri! I made these for my family this morning. GOOD LORD! Everyone loved them! I’m pretty good at making pancakes, but these are absolutely on another level. Thank you for providing my new go-to recipe!
I love that Brian uses the metric system. It makes it so much easier to prepare things than to figure out what to do with all these cups, fractions, and spoons.
Excellent pancakes! So fluffy and delicious. I dropped frozen blueberries on top of each pancake as they were cooking, smooshing them down a bit. Grandkids ate them all up, declaring them the BEST!
We just made Brian’s version of the McGriddle with our leftover pancakes yesterday. Both the pancakes and the McGriddle are now officially in the rotation going forward. Yummy! Yummy! Thank you Brian.
I made these for breakfast this morning. It was the first time I've made pancakes from scratch, and the recipe worked beautifully - I doubt I'll ever used the boxed mix again!
Wow, just wow.. greetings from the Netherlands here :-) Dutch style pancakes are big and flat, like a thick crepe, great, but American style pancakes are way nicer. I’ve made those before, but this recipe blows everything, out of the water!! These are WAY better and easier!! Thanks so much!
I made this for dinner tonight for myself and my girl (with bacon and breakfast sausage). These were everything you said they'd be. Girl rated the breakfast for dinner a strong 10 :) Love em!
An alternative way to reduce gluten formation is to use a mixture of flours. Oat flour has minimal to no gluten, and adds a complexity to the taste of the pancakes.
This is now my go-to pancakes recipe, simply because I don’t have to whip up egg white and this gives me greatest pancakes, that I’ve ever made at home. Thank you for the Greek yogurt tip, instead of buttermilk.
I knew this would appear one day...I have a pretty solid pancake recipe, but of course, your version is definitely an improvement. Looking forward to trying it this weekend!
OMG I’ve been looking for the perfect pancake recipe forever! Watched the video yesterday and making them now! They’re amazing! I only had sour cream on hand so used that diluted in water instead of buttermilk. These look and taste amazing! Thank you Bri!
I made these today and didn’t have buttermilk. I made them with whey instead. (I made yogurt a few weeks ago and strained it to turn it into greek yogurt). And oh my god these are the best pancakes I’ve ever had.
I just tried this recipe this morning. Outstanding!! I had sourdough starter discard I wanted to use so I subbed 150g sourdough starter for flour and my dough wasn’t quite as thick as yours but the pancakes still turned out great. You weren’t joking. These really are the GOAT pancakes. Next time I may try browning the butter for that nutty flavor
Isn't it fascinating that you have to be so gentle with pancake batter? It's such a contrast to kneading bread dough, but the result is definitely worth it, these pancakes were perfect
My old-school mom and grandma must have given him this recipe because that is how we always ate them lol. More butter, more love. We always use the cast iron skillet for pancakes and more butter in the pan😇.
It kind of isn't though, if you look at the ratio. He uses 600g of flour, so about 5 cups. 140g of Butter makes for a bit less than 2 tablespoons of butter per 1 cup of flour. Most recipes I've seen including boxed ones like Bisquick use between 1-2 tablespoons of oil in the batter. Otherwise you'll end up with a dry pancake.
That does NOT create the taste or texture of buttermilk. Brian's combination of milk or water and sour cream is closer to the original, and is used by professional chefs and bakers.
These look awesome and I never thought I'd say that about a pancake. Just sad I did not see any vanilla but I imagine you just wanted to show the "base" recipe. So thanks for it!
This is an outstanding recipe. I followed it as described and my family loved it. It is now in my folder of master recipes. Thanks Brian. I'd like to see you make Mole Poblano but only after you learn it from a Mexican cook. They include nuances that aren't in any of the many recipes I've seen. I think you'd be the perfect person to study this as well as present it to your followers.
I just made this for my parents and the pancaces were delicious! We had them with wild blueberries. But the servings are gigantic, next time we're cutting the portions in half.
I'm off work all week and was thinking of cool things to cook. I'm def making this AND that bad ass breakfast mcgriddle!!! My mouth is salivating right now at the thought of it. lol!
Your method of making pancakes is very similar to the one I have been using for twenty years or so, a chef friend of mine made them the same way and I fell in love with his recipe. I know the lumps worried me at first but it worked out so well. And are delicious, best compliment was my dad loved them, that made me happy. Enjoy this recipe is a good one, thanks chef!
I know a third equally good way for cooking your pancakes (on sunny days) : on a gas grill (with an enamelled cast iron sheet). However : I thought I had the perfect recipe, but your "no fat required for cooking" trick is definitely worth a try, thanks ! And that breakfast sandwich... It looks so insanely good that it made me laugh nervously.
Hey @brain - I’ve made these several times. Thanks!!!!!! They are easy to make (if you know how to fold) and the flavor/texture is spot on. I’ve also cut pancakes in half and added pepper jack cheese (Sargento) and it was FABULOUS!!! Thanks for the hard work of checking many recipes to find the Brady of Pancakes 👍👍🚀
As a European thank you so much for having your pancake recipe in metric! It's so hard to find a comprehensible recipe for pancakes as most of the know-how on that matter comes from the Us of A
That's exactly why I bought American measuring devices (or some with both scales on them). Converting the units is a pain in the buttocks. Now all that's left to do is making sure not to confuse tsp for tbsp. (For real, 'Muricans. What were you thinking?!)
@@Dctctx It's abbreviations, not words. Thus, it's not meant to be read, but to be recognized. In direct comparison to one another it's easy to tell which is which. But they're not always both present. And if you only got "tsp" in a recipe it could easily be an abbreviation of one or the other. So you have to remember. I actually came up with a mnemonic of sorts. The tsp is the sp with just a t, so it stands for the "t spoon". The other one is tbsp, so it must be the tuberculosis spoon.
@@lonestarr1490 It can get worse ... in older American cookbooks you'll see T and t as the abbreviations. When I was learning to cook, I also learned this rhyme: One big T equals teaspoons three. Even though I was raised on American measurements, I switched over to metric - it's more accurate. [Try weighing a cup of lightly spooned and leveled flour vs. packed flour.]
Ok, i'm seriously going to try this one tomorrow morning and let you know ok.... I'm Dutch and our way of pancake batter is the smooth one who is mixed to oblivion with a whisk😂😂😂... Thanks, you got a new Sub
That is my standard recipe from the old original “Best Recipe” cookbook that tests in great depth, as you did. The only difference was they separated the eggs and mixed plain whites into buttermilk and yolks into melted butter…THEN, mixed all together as you did. It always seemed to come out extraordinary with that one/two extra liquid combos!
My Goodness do these look comforting! The footage of the melting butter sliding all over with the syrup is unreal. I can't wait to try them. Great recipe.
Ok so this has become my new “go to” pancake recipe replacing my old one which was pretty good. I’ve been making it every Saturday since it’s pancake Saturdays at my house. Great tip to use half sour cream and water to sub for buttermilk. Ever since I moved to Puerto Rico it’s almost impossible to find buttermilk. Great recipe!!!!!😊
BRIAN, you're killing me with those pancakes. Making a McGriddle with the leftovers is a great idea. I've tried making a McGriddle copycat at home a few times and they were always average. Hopefully, this recipe will change that! It all looks so good. 😭
Even *days* later the leftover ones are still moist and fluffy when microwaved, which feels like it defies nature. No joke the best homemade pancakes I've ever had
I made these pancakes and topped with a simple peach compote (5 large peaches, 1/2c sugar, 1/4c brown sugar, 1tsp cinnamon, 1tbsp lemon juice simmered until soft and lots of juice). OMG so good!
This is too weird. I have been thinking about wanting to make some bomb ass pancakes for several weeks now and thinking about how I needed to find a really legit recipe. And here the universe and Brian have delivered it to me. Guess I finally have to make it. Thanks Brian.
The only thing you miss out on by not putting fat in the pans is that lovely fry bread crispy edge around the pancakes. And frankly I can't live without that, I'll take uneven browning! But these we're phenomenal
This is super close to the recipie I developed over the years, but I dont use sugar, but I put in some malt powder. Adds something, helps browning, doesnt let the pancake get too sweet -- thats what the syrup is for.
For anyone else that found the batter too wet with the listed ingredient list, I have dropped the buttermilk from 900 gm down to 100 gm with the resultant batter better resembling Brian’s.
Cannot wait to try these, and definitely will do so this week. I have a recipe I've been pretty happy with, but I really trust Brian, and I can already sense that these will be a winner, and very likely my new "go to"! The once thing that keeps running through my mind is the possibility of browning the butter. I do it quite often in my baking and cooking with amazing results. Maybe I'll try both ways 😁.
Great recipes and videos all the time! Definitely the best pancakes as the look when you cut them up. I don't really like them because of flour overload but I'll eat these! Try making them from farmer's cheese. Add an egg, sugar and not too much flour. They are so delicious with sour cream and preserves. Super easy and super great result.
I will be making these once a week! Your recipes are the best! Also… I love French toast and never can seem to get close to any restaurant quality regardless of how many different recipes and breads I follow. Please do a French toast follow up! I would be eternally grateful
Brian is not exaggerating, these are seriously the best pancakes ever. I followed the recipe exactly, except I cut it in half since it is just me an my husband. Timings were perfect, couldn't tell the batter had been super lumpy, they were so tender but kept the sky-high fluffiness developed in the pan, and didn't need any fat for cooking despite my old non-stick pans. We both thought they had great butter flavor even without adding butter after cooking. I always have these ingredients on hand too, so I can make pancakes whenever my husband asks now. Thanks Bri!
Try his orange chicken recipe. Oh my god is right. He kills it.
My son is a self proclaimed "pancake expert" and I'm always trying the best recipes I can find. He said these are his favorite pancakes so far.
Tried these today and they were, in fact, the best homemade pancakes I've EVER had. Thanks for including metric measurements, it was easy to scale down to 25% with 1 egg for one person!
Start off by melting 140g of butter? You have my attention.
Makes a sammich out of pancakes: You had my attention, now you have my respect.
I was like what? Did I click on the pancake video? 😂

that's the part that lost me... I'm not cooking for a restaurant...
Thanks!
This video makes me feel like it was created just for me. I had asked about a pancake recipe a while back during a q&a episode, and here it is. Thanks Bri!
Brian I made this for my roommates tonight and they were fantastic! Every fiber of my being was telling me to keep stirring the batter, but leaving it ugly and lumpy truly made the best pancakes I’ve ever made at home. Thanks so much!
When I leave my batter lumpy, I get large pockets of dry flour. How do you avoid those without mixing more?
@@MustaphaHamoui I pretty much followed exactly how much he stirred, even looking to make sure my batter looked similar to in the video. However there was probably a good 5 minutes spent getting the skillets out and preheated, getting a spatula, and setting the table before I actually used the batter. Maybe that resting period allowed the pockets of dry batter to get a little saturated? I can’t say for sure, but I hope you have better luck in the future!
Another use for leftover pancakes -- layer with fresh fruit and whipped cream to make dessert "shortcakes." Strawberries are delicious this way, along with blueberries and peaches. I look forward to using this recipe for breakfast, then the leftovers for dessert after supper. Thanks, Brian!
Yeah. This recipe would work really well for shortcake.
Fruit and whipped cream? Isn't that just a pancake topping. That sounds more like "another use for pqncakes" than "another use for leftover pancakes"
Who needs whipped cream when you have high quality, buttery and fatty 🥞 ? 😇
wait, quick question... what are "leftover pancakes?"
Babish and Brian releasing pancake episodes in the same day seems like sign
It cannot be a coincidence, son !
which one looks better?
Yep, pretty much. Guess I'd better get some buttermilk.
@@orangerights2397 I hate to go against Babish, but my vote goes to Bri here.
Yep a sign you consume too much TH-cam content.
I did not see that breakfast sandwich pivot coming at the end. That thing looks amazing.
I rode a bicycle from Yorktown, VA to Astoria, OR in 2008 and noticed the further West I went the bowls of soup got smaller and the pancakes got bigger. Love this recipe. Cheers!
Oh man! Just tried these and they are LEGIT! Thank you, Brian! We love your videos.

One of the greatest channels on TH-cam. Thanks, Brian!
I love that Brian uses the metric system. It makes it so much easier to prepare things than to figure out what to do with all these cups, fractions, and spoons.
You must be EUROPEAN, we don't use metrics in USA🇺🇸
I agree, especially since I'm from Finland where we use metric
Especially when you figure out that ex. flour is compressible and 1 cup can have way different measurements in grams…
@@chicanoonthegoI was just thinking I’d like these videos better if I I didn’t have to convert the measurements to cups and teaspoons.
@@BlessingsfromNorthIdaho AMERICANS don't need to convert here because all measuring utensils are labeled in CUPS and ounces😁
Excellent pancakes! So fluffy and delicious. I dropped frozen blueberries on top of each pancake as they were cooking, smooshing them down a bit. Grandkids ate them all up, declaring them the BEST!
We just made Brian’s version of the McGriddle with our leftover pancakes yesterday. Both the pancakes and the McGriddle are now officially in the rotation going forward. Yummy! Yummy! Thank you Brian.
I made these for breakfast this morning. It was the first time I've made pancakes from scratch, and the recipe worked beautifully - I doubt I'll ever used the boxed mix again!

Indeed these were amazing. And can’t wait to have a pancake sammy tomorrow morn!
*Irony:* you can only mix pancakes 10 times or gluten will form. For bread, you must kneed for 10-20 minutes in order to build gluten 😂
or let it set overnight for a no-knead dough.👍
@@bpp325 that’s a great technique. Flavor and gluten strength.
An alternative way to reduce gluten formation is to use a mixture of flours. Oat flour has minimal to no gluten, and adds a complexity to the taste of the pancakes.
These look fantastic! Could you do a waffle video in a similar fashion? I'm a huge fan of crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside waffles.

Once again we are reminded that ‘restaurant quality’ implies an absolutely hilarious amount of butter

My thoughts exactly...ridiculous amount
BUTTER = BETTER 💯
It kind of isn't though, if you look at the ratio. He uses 600g of flour, so about 5 cups. 140g of Butter makes for a bit less than 2 tablespoons of butter per 1 cup of flour. Most recipes I've seen including boxed ones like Bisquick use between 1-2 tablespoons of oil in the batter. Otherwise you'll end up with a dry pancake.

You sir, are an evil genius! These are next level amazing... better than any restaurant I've ever had! Thanks for this 😁

It’s hilarious that you uploaded this the day I made pancakes for the first time in like five years 😂
I know a third equally good way for cooking your pancakes (on sunny days) : on a gas grill (with an enamelled cast iron sheet). However : I thought I had the perfect recipe, but your "no fat required for cooking" trick is definitely worth a try, thanks ! And that breakfast sandwich... It looks so insanely good that it made me laugh nervously.
Brian - Your production ( and cooking! ) skills are just amazing. All killa - no filla. Thanks!
Hey @brain - I’ve made these several times. Thanks!!!!!!
They are easy to make (if you know how to fold) and the flavor/texture is spot on.
I’ve also cut pancakes in half and added pepper jack cheese (Sargento) and it was FABULOUS!!!
Thanks for the hard work of checking many recipes to find the Brady of Pancakes 👍👍🚀
I just made these and holy crap, they really are the greatest pancakes ever.
As a European thank you so much for having your pancake recipe in metric! It's so hard to find a comprehensible recipe for pancakes as most of the know-how on that matter comes from the Us of A
Vous êtes français ?
That's exactly why I bought American measuring devices (or some with both scales on them). Converting the units is a pain in the buttocks. Now all that's left to do is making sure not to confuse tsp for tbsp. (For real, 'Muricans. What were you thinking?!)
@@lonestarr1490not our fault you can’t read
@@Dctctx It's abbreviations, not words. Thus, it's not meant to be read, but to be recognized.
In direct comparison to one another it's easy to tell which is which. But they're not always both present. And if you only got "tsp" in a recipe it could easily be an abbreviation of one or the other. So you have to remember.
I actually came up with a mnemonic of sorts. The tsp is the sp with just a t, so it stands for the "t spoon". The other one is tbsp, so it must be the tuberculosis spoon.
@@lonestarr1490 It can get worse ... in older American cookbooks you'll see T and t as the abbreviations. When I was learning to cook, I also learned this rhyme:
One big T equals teaspoons three.
Even though I was raised on American measurements, I switched over to metric - it's more accurate. [Try weighing a cup of lightly spooned and leveled flour vs. packed flour.]
Nice and fluffy recipe. I just added 1/4 tsp vanilla paste. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
Ok, i'm seriously going to try this one tomorrow morning and let you know ok.... I'm Dutch and our way of pancake batter is the smooth one who is mixed to oblivion with a whisk😂😂😂... Thanks, you got a new Sub
I followed the recipe and the pancakes are great. Now i have food for a month 😁
That is my standard recipe from the old original “Best Recipe” cookbook that tests in great depth, as you did. The only difference was they separated the eggs and mixed plain whites into buttermilk and yolks into melted butter…THEN, mixed all together as you did. It always seemed to come out extraordinary with that one/two extra liquid combos!
I saw something like this and just seperating and adding still works! I just made a post about it too
Oh no I’m gonna have to test two pancake recipe variations this week what will I do.
@@alandominguez6346 Enjoy!
@@joannefarmer6984 Amazing!
@@alandominguez6346 Enjoy! 😉
These pancakes are absolutely GOATed. I've made all the "best" ones and these finally win. This is my new pancake recipe.
Duuuuude I just made these and they are absolutely the best pancakes I’ve ever made!!!
My Goodness do these look comforting! The footage of the melting butter sliding all over with the syrup is unreal. I can't wait to try them. Great recipe.
Just made em. Very very good. Definitely the best pancakes I’ve ever made!
Ok so this has become my new “go to” pancake recipe replacing my old one which was pretty good. I’ve been making it every Saturday since it’s pancake Saturdays at my house. Great tip to use half sour cream and water to sub for buttermilk. Ever since I moved to Puerto Rico it’s almost impossible to find buttermilk. Great recipe!!!!!😊
Another home run, Brian. Kids and I devoured these this morning.
BRIAN, you're killing me with those pancakes. Making a McGriddle with the leftovers is a great idea. I've tried making a McGriddle copycat at home a few times and they were always average. Hopefully, this recipe will change that! It all looks so good. 😭
Best pancakes we've ever made. Thank you for teaching us how to swim 🙏
Even *days* later the leftover ones are still moist and fluffy when microwaved, which feels like it defies nature. No joke the best homemade pancakes I've ever had
I made these pancakes and topped with a simple peach compote (5 large peaches, 1/2c sugar, 1/4c brown sugar, 1tsp cinnamon, 1tbsp lemon juice simmered until soft and lots of juice). OMG so good!
Best pancakes that I have had in a long time. Thanks for the recipe.
Amazing pancakes! This is the best cooking channel on TH-cam.
Tried them yesterday. Don't plan on eating for the rest of the day. Highly recommended.
These looks delish! You can also acidulate the milk with a dash of vinegar for buttermilk substitution! Sooo good!
OMG! I make pancakes all the time, and I am definitely making this recipe 😋. Thanks Brian👍
Made them for dinner. They were great! Held the real maple syrup just right. Thanks!
This is too weird. I have been thinking about wanting to make some bomb ass pancakes for several weeks now and thinking about how I needed to find a really legit recipe. And here the universe and Brian have delivered it to me. Guess I finally have to make it. Thanks Brian.
Can't wait to make these!! Pancakes also freeze and reheat amazingly well in the microwave.
The only thing you miss out on by not putting fat in the pans is that lovely fry bread crispy edge around the pancakes. And frankly I can't live without that, I'll take uneven browning! But these we're phenomenal
This is super close to the recipie I developed over the years, but I dont use sugar, but I put in some malt powder. Adds something, helps browning, doesnt let the pancake get too sweet -- thats what the syrup is for.
Made these this morning. It was a hit among us, we like the fluffier style pancakes. This will replace our Alton Brown recipe we use.
For anyone else that found the batter too wet with the listed ingredient list, I have dropped the buttermilk from 900 gm down to 100 gm with the resultant batter better resembling Brian’s.
Was just thinking how I'd like to see your take on breakfast staples and here we are! Would love to see a followup video for waffles 😋
Literally the best pancakes I’ve ever had. My new go to for sure!
Cannot wait to try these, and definitely will do so this week. I have a recipe I've been pretty happy with, but I really trust Brian, and I can already sense that these will be a winner, and very likely my new "go to"! The once thing that keeps running through my mind is the possibility of browning the butter. I do it quite often in my baking and cooking with amazing results. Maybe I'll try both ways 😁.
Great recipes and videos all the time! Definitely the best pancakes as the look when you cut them up. I don't really like them because of flour overload but I'll eat these! Try making them from farmer's cheese. Add an egg, sugar and not too much flour. They are so delicious with sour cream and preserves. Super easy and super great result.
I will be making these once a week! Your recipes are the best! Also… I love French toast and never can seem to get close to any restaurant quality regardless of how many different recipes and breads I follow. Please do a French toast follow up! I would be eternally grateful
I can’t wait to try these! I’ve been using Preppy Kitchen’s recipe but substituting buttermilk for regular milk, and they are divine!
