IHOP Pancakes (copycat)

Report
IHOP Pancakes are fluffy, tender griddle cakes made from a batter of sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, buttermilk, eggs, butter, and sugar. These pancakes develop a golden exterior while remaining soft inside, replicating the classic diner-style texture and flavor suitable for breakfast or brunch served with syrup and butter.

Description

This IHOP Pancakes copycat recipe mixes sifted all-purpose flour with baking powder, baking soda, and salt to leaven the batter. A separate mixture of beaten egg and buttermilk is combined with the dry ingredients, followed by melted salted butter and sugar to create a smooth batter.

The batter is cooked on a greased griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat in 5-inch circles. Bubbles forming on the surface and edges browning indicate readiness to flip, producing pancakes with light crisp edges and a fluffy interior.

These pancakes can be served warm topped with butter and syrup. The recipe yields about eight pancakes, making it suitable for a family breakfast or casual brunch.
