Steps
Preheat griddle to 375 degrees F. *For most griddles, this will be the low to medium-low setting for about 10-15 minutes.
While griddle is heating, sift flour into a medium bowl. Add the other dry ingredients to the bowl and mix together well.
In a separate large bowl, add all wet ingredients and mix well.
Add the mixed dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Gently fold together, taking care to not over-mix the batter (lumps are fine). Once the dry ingredients are mixed in, allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes. The batter should appear thick and bubbly.
Add about 1-2 tablespoons of butter to the warm griddle and use your spatula to spread it around. *For fluffy pancakes, be careful not to over-butter or oil your griddle surface.
Gently spoon the pancake batter onto the griddle, making sure to leave enough space in between each pancake to flip. Do NOT mix the batter again as you're spooning out. *We used about 3 tablespoons - ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
Allow the pancakes to cook on the first side until bubbles appear and the edges set up (about 4 minutes depending on what griddle you are using). Then, flip pancakes to the second side and continue to cook until done (about 2 minutes). Take off the heat and serve warm.

Nick Evans on 2025-03-18 (5 stars): Wife and kids said these were the best pancakes they’ve had. It would be great if you could add metric measurements as well.
Sonja Holzhausen on 2024-12-12 (5 stars): Some of the best pancakes I've ever eaten. It must be the ACV, and sour cream. I can get a hint of the ACV, while eating it, I think. Nevertheless, I am going to be using the recipe from now on. I've also shared the recipe with several of my friends.
Thanks so much for sharing all your recipes. Love the channel!
Kay on 2024-12-09 (5 stars): These are THE BEST pancakes known to all of mankind!!
We have Sunday dinner at our house most weeks for our 3 (adult) kids, son-in-law and 2 grandkiddos. Occasionally, we'll do breakfast/brunch. After making these the 1st time (one of my 1st cooks on my Weber 36" Slate), my 8 yr. old grandson told me I had to make these pancakes ALL.THE.TIME. Even in crappy weather, I've made them inside on my baking steel I keep on my (gas) stovetop...with perfect results.
THANK you for a great recipe!!
Smoking Tarheel on 2024-12-08 (5 stars): Best results can be had with this recipe. It is outstanding. Neil has this one down for sure. Fluffy and flavorful, these disappear fast when I make them.
Kay on 2024-11-26 (5 stars): My family absolutely LOVES these pancakes...even my (somewhat) picky 8 yr. old grandson! This was the 1st 'family Sunday meal' I did once I got my Weber slate...after smash burgers for hubs & me.
THANK you so much for all the great ideas! Having cooked as long as I have (celebrating 50th anniversary in 3 days) it's nice to have somebody give me some new ideas!
