I have to admit it. I love me some IHOP pancakes. Breakfast is one of my favorite meals to eat at restaurants, though it’s funny, because I’m normally a savory foods girl. I like to order chicken fried steak, bacon or eggs. BUT there’s always an exception when we go to IHOP. I always get their pancakes. They are amazeballs!

I found this copycat version from a blog off Pinterest and read all the reviews. They were all great and everyone said they loved them. Some commented they were better than IHOP’s. So that was the seller to me. I printed off the recipe and made them for dinner. (I love breakfast for dinner, too 😀 )

We absolutely loved these pancakes. And I agreed with the reviews. They were BETTER than IHOP’s. Maybe it’s because they were homemade and who knows what the restaurant puts in theirs (not that I care because I’ll still eat them). But this copycat version was great. Kallen will even tell you so. He had 3 that night and 2 the next morning for breakfast. 😀

Fluffy and delicious homemade pancakes that taste like the ones from IHOP restaurant! Ingredients

So much sugar!

[grame]

Pretty much my recipe, but I only use 1 Tbsp sugar & 1/2 tsp baking soda.

My grandson says, better than IHOP.

3 Tablespoons? Some people put more than that in their coffee!..............

I tease our first-born by reminding her the first pancake never comes out right.

[Red Badger]

I learned to wait until the edges get holes that do not close up before flipping, else you have a mess.....................

Wife and I have been doing keto/Paleo for over a month, and it’s insane how much sugar is in our food. When you’re actually watching it and realize how much 3 tbsp actually is, it’s eye opening. We’re addicted to sugar in this country.

But, FWIW, I love me some IHOP pancakes too.

They put a little pancake batter in the omelets to make them fluffy.

If you are restricting your carbs you can order an omelet without the batter added.

[Jeff Chandler]

I can beat that. I can make hash browns at home that are better than coffee shop hash browns.

Bookmarked.

I make my own as well. It’s amazing how much hash browns comes from one small potato!

They charge $2 per serving as a side for something that cost maybe 10 cents!...............

Don’t know if you’ve ever tried Kruseauz Gluten-Free pancake mix.
It’s smoother than the real thing. Pancakes have a light, silky texture. Good

One of the few if not only gluten-free grain products I like better.
Gonna try your recipe though.

I’m not a huge pancake fan but I live with some. These are the best.

They are REALLY fluffy. And you can use kefir or plain full fat yogurt for the soured milk, if you have it.

Sugar and corn syrup.

We're making the switch from St. Louis style (ketchup and sugar based) BBQ sauce to East Carolina style (vinegar based).

[Jeff Chandler]

I make my own as well.

Do they come out crispy crunchy brown like mine or soggy and mushy like everyone else's?

[Vinnie]

Hash browns good, but it’s...
Grits baby, Cheese grits!!

[Hyman Roth]

I know I will get flamed. :) But I hate pancakes and waffles. Never understood the fascination.

[Jeff Chandler]

Grits baby, Cheese grits!!

Are you my cousin?

[Red Badger]

If I use plenty of oil and add a little bacon grease they come out fine!......GOTTA HEAT IT UP REALLY HOT FIRST BEFORE ADDING THE TATERS!...............
