I have to admit it. I love me some IHOP pancakes. Breakfast is one of my favorite meals to eat at restaurants, though it’s funny, because I’m normally a savory foods girl. I like to order chicken fried steak, bacon or eggs. BUT there’s always an exception when we go to IHOP. I always get their pancakes. They are amazeballs!

I found this copycat version from a blog off Pinterest and read all the reviews. They were all great and everyone said they loved them. Some commented they were better than IHOP’s. So that was the seller to me. I printed off the recipe and made them for dinner. (I love breakfast for dinner, too 😀 )

We absolutely loved these pancakes. And I agreed with the reviews. They were BETTER than IHOP’s. Maybe it’s because they were homemade and who knows what the restaurant puts in theirs (not that I care because I’ll still eat them). But this copycat version was great. Kallen will even tell you so. He had 3 that night and 2 the next morning for breakfast. 😀

IHOP Pancakes (copycat) Author: Holly Prep time: 10 mins Total time: 10 mins Serves: 4 servings

Fluffy and delicious homemade pancakes that taste like the ones from IHOP restaurant! Ingredients

1¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

⅛ teaspoon salt

1 large egg, beaten

1¼ cups buttermilk

2 Tablespoons butter, melted

3 Tablespoons sugar

Instructions

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a small bowl, combine egg and buttermilk. Whisk together until blended. Add to flour mixture, stirring only until smooth. Add melted butter and sugar to batter and whisk until combined.

Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Grease griddle with cooking spray or butter.

Drop ¼ cup batter on pan and spread into a 5-inch circle. Cook until bubbles begin to form on surface and edges begin to brown. Gently flip and continue to brown other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Serve with butter and warm syrup. Enjoy!

I really think pancakes is one of those things that’s hard to mess up. My secret is to add 1/4 cup of melted butter and some real maple syrup right into the batter. Also, heat some maple syrup before serving. Warm maple syrup is a nice touch.

I’ve had shiritake noodles. Not my thing but I don’t do much pasta anyway.

One tablespoon should be enough for that amount of flour.
When I make my double batch of pancakes, it’s still not as much sugar as this recipe.

I put 1 teaspoon of regular vinegar per cup of milk. Let it sit for 10 minutes. It makes the fluffiest pancakes.

I julienne my potatoes and they come out brown and crunchy.

I just grab em (frozen) from the bag and they turn out amazing.

I use half butter/have olive oil or half butter/half bacon grease depending on my mood. Both very flavorful and crispy.

[Red Badger]

Me too. I use olive oil as a butter substitute in mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and other places, like hot biscuits and in cornbread batter.................

I hope you peel them first.....................

Agreed. Something in the souring really fluffs them up. I think I will make pancakes this weekend before Passover starts.

There’s 29 carbs in each banana. My wife is on a low low carb diet. Most fruit is off limits except in very limited portion. Same with potatoes, beans, etc. . . We are surrounded by carbs and we never ever eat at Olive Garden or a pasta place.

When we have fish, every Friday for the next couple weeks, I make a grits casserole.
Grits, egg, cheese, garlic powder, cayenne pepper powder.
Really good.

Discovered by accident that lightly folding whipped cream into my pancake batter made very light and fluffy cakes.

[Red Badger]

Beaten egg whites will also. But then it’s called ‘waffle batter’...................

Add 2 tablespoons of Italian bread crumbs to your omelet. Awesome.

[BipolarBob]

30 grams daily or each meal?

Read the labels on food. Some would be shocked, shocked! at the amounts of sugar we’re taking in.
