Joanna Gaines’ Best Pancake Recipe
For several years now, our family has made breakfast together on either Saturday or Sunday morning.
Our go-to for the last several years has been my homemade french toast recipe with fresh fruit, but since discovering the Magnolia Table cookbook we have landed on a new favorite.
Joanna’s “Best-Ever Fluffy Pancakes.” After tailoring it to suit the ingredients I always have stocked in my fridge, I would have to say these are the best pancakes I have ever had.
The queen herself actually liked my post when I tagged her on Instagram after having shared my ingredient substitutions.
The primary difference is that she includes buttermilk. I don’t typically keep buttermilk stocked in my fridge on a regular basis. I do, however, always have lemon juice and milk.
We made this recipe several times with buttermilk and many, many times since with my substitutions and they taste the same – amazing and delicious every time.
The other key is to let the mixture stand for 20 minutes as the instructions say. This allows it to thicken creating fluffier pancakes.
I am telling you. These pancakes are absolutely the best.
This month pick a weekend, get your kids to help mix the ingredients, set the table, write a list of 5 questions that each person has to answer, and enjoy The Best Pancakes.
You won’t be disappointed. Create your own delicious memories around the table!
Bon appetit!

this really is a great recipe and the “letting it sit” does make a difference!
It really does! Makes them super fluffy!
These look delicious Ahna! Letting the batter sit is the best tip!
They are SO good!
