Pancake 101: 5 Quick Tips to Make Them Fluffy, Not Flat

If your pancakes come out flat, chewy, or too dense, don’t worry—it’s a quick fix. Here are five fast tricks to help you make pancakes that are light, airy, and stack-worthy.

1. Use Buttermilk (or a Quick Substitute)

Buttermilk adds tang and helps the batter rise. No buttermilk? Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.

2. Don’t Overmix the Batter

Mix just until the dry ingredients are combined. A few lumps are good. Overmixing = flat pancakes.

3. Let the Batter Rest

Let it sit for 10 minutes. This gives time for the ingredients to activate and fluff up.

4. Use a Preheated Pan

Make sure your skillet is hot before pouring in batter. A medium heat with a light grease layer works best.

5. Only Flip Once

Flip when bubbles appear and the edges look dry. Flipping too soon or too often flattens them.

Pro Tip: Want them extra fluffy? Add an extra 1/2 tsp baking powder to the dry mix.
