I love the picture, I am wondering what kind of lighting you used?

Btw, my pancakes ended up flat and a bit rubbery. I did not use buttermilk as I didn’t have any so I used milk with a tablespoon of vinegar which is the usual substitute. Will need to try again sometime.

You know I didn’t shoot this photo, so I can’t say, what type of lighting was used. I am sorry you didn’t use the buttermilk, these pancakes are fabulous. Since you made the recipe, I bet you have two more batches to go, and you should try it with the buttermilk. These are my favorite pancakes! ~Stephanie

Q: Shouldn’t the “check expiration” warning be for the baking powder?

I’ve never heard of baking soda going stale, though every experienced baker knows to test BP if it’s over a couple months old or the weather’s had high humidity.

Please reply, as I’m always eager to learn new/better ways.
Thanks for a groovy site.

I can honestly say I can’t agree with you more on these pancakes. These were the best that I have ever had. The buttermilk is tangy, and when served with butter and real maple syrup, these are heavenly. And definately deserve the title of the perfect pancake.

Last weekend I came to CopyKat Recipes trying to locate a recipe for IHOP pancakes. I found two pancake recipes that I thought I would try. The first was the IHOP Griddle Cakes and this one Alton Browns Perfect Pancakes. The IHOP Griddle Cakes I made last weekend and this weekend I made the Alton Browns Perfect Pancakes. The IHOP Griddle Pancakes were very good. They were soft, moist, much like the old fashion buttermilk pancakes my Mama use to make when I was a child. The AlLTON BROWN PERFECT PANCAKES were the best. THEY WERE PERFECT. I was so sold on IHOP pancakes until I found this recipe. It was so perfect and good I will never go out for breakfast again just to enjoy pancakes. Thanks for the recipes. They were great! Ann
