Our Family’s Favorite Pancake Recipe
In my quest to avoid preservatives and partially hydrodgenated oils in boxed pancake mix, I found this recipe for pancakes, tweaked it a little and it is now our family’s favorite pancake recipe. The recipe uses a substitution for buttermilk so all the ingredients are already in my pantry. I drop in some blueberries in about half the pancakes, Curious George style. We have an egg allergy in our extended family so I was also pleased to discover that these pancakes taste just as good when I omit the egg. Granted, they are not as fluffy, but shhh, don’t tell them – my family couldn’t tell the difference.
I now make these once every couple of weeks. The leftovers are easy to toast in the toaster oven the next morning for a quick weekday breakfast. With Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), my joints are most stiff and painful in the morning so making breakfast is hard for me to do many days. I need breakfasts that taste just as good reheated so my boys can have a good breakfast despite my limitations.
So, without further ado, here’s our family’s favorite pancake recipe…

What does your family enjoy for quick weekday breakfasts? How do you like your pancakes? I love mine with fresh blueberries or strawberries and pure maple syrup. Enjoy!Â
YUM! We (ok, by “we” I mean my husband) make pancakes most weekends. We are lucky since my father-in-law makes his own maple syrup so we always have a big stock. This recipe looks really yummy!
You’ve got some great guys in your life, a hubby that cooks and his dad who makes maple syrup? Wowee! I’d be in heaven with a stock of maple syrup. I buy the pure maple syrup and it’s $6 for a little bottle and we go through a lot of it….
Tanya, These look awesome! We are going to have to try them. I too like to avoid some of the bad stuff found in boxed mixes. My daughter is hooked on pancakes ever since we read the Curious George book. 🙂
another pancake luver here – nicely done, Tanya !
Thanks for sharing, Tanya! My family loves pancakes so I am excited to try the recipe and I’m pinning it 🙂
I use a recipe that I sour the milk too. Love pancakes for breakfast. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday Linky Party.
That vinegar addition is so interesting! I live in Italy and they don’t eat pancakes here!!!!! (crazy right?) Anyways, still trying to raise my little girl somewhat American and this recipe looks perfect to try (I adoooore pancakes. especially with chocolate chips!)
I’m visiting you from the Mommy Monday Blog Hop. I love making pancakes but I’ve never seen a recipe that called for white vinegar before. I am looking forward to trying these out.

Oh love buttermilk pancakes but seldom have buttermilk on hand, souring the milk is brilliant!
I really love pancake a lot. I have pinned your recipe. Will try to use it on Summer with kids. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thanks Adelien for hosting one of my favorite pinterest parties!
I don’t cook, but I’ve seen recipes (LOL) and I’ve never seen vinegar in pancakes. Very interesting! Thanks for sharing & co-hosting on #throwbackthursdaylinkup
Hi Tanya:
This recipe looks great! I love that you are providing us with a great recipe without all of the bad things in a boxed mix! Always love stopping by!
Oh yummy pancakes! I am always looking for a good pancake recipe. I love making them and freezing!
It is a good idea to freeze them. I guess I should double this batch and try freezing them. Thanks for the suggestion.
Sounds very tasty! My family loves pancakes… my most recent experiment has been sourdough pancakes. 🙂
Oooh, how did they turn out? I have never made sourdough bread, it seems getting it right takes practice.
This is similar to my recipe, but I have never used vinegar!
Interesting right? The vinegar sours regular milk so it gets thicker and frothy like buttermilk. The original recipe had more vinegar but I cut it in half to avoid a vinegary aftertaste. Now they’re perfect for us!
