Waffle House Pancakes Recipe

Waffle House pancakes have a way of keeping you coming back to this famous diner.
The key to their golden-brown, buttery goodness is a batter that’s just the right balance of rich and airy.
A mix of buttermilk and a touch of vanilla adds just enough sweetness without overpowering the classic pancake taste.
Resting the batter before cooking lets the ingredients fully combine, giving each pancake that smooth, fluffy consistency!

Ingredients
  
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 4 tbsp Butter melted

Instructions
 
  • Whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; lumps are okay.
  • Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter to the pan.
  • Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  • Serve with your favorite pancake toppings like butter, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.
