Best Pancakes?
6/21/2017 at 9:05 AM

My dad just moved here and is turning 88 this week. My dads favorite meal in the whole world is perkins pancakes. A trip to winnipeg is not in the cards so which restaurant in Brandon has the lightest fluffiest pancakes? Would Love to find a new favorite for him in town.

Anyone have a good recipe to share? We've tried the Perkins pancakes recipe on line but they are not the same as the restaurant.

Google IHOP pancake recipe. It's my go-to. I add milk last to make sure the batter doesn't thin too much. Light and fluffy!

I have never found any luck with making a recipe I have found on the internet. But I had bought a brand of pancake mix from Costco and will never use anything else. It makes the best pancakes. The brand is Krusteaz (sp?)Its in a blue bag. Soooo good.

Have Pinterest, search, buttermilk pancakes and make that recipe! Way better than any other pancakes in my opinion.

The IHOP recipe I posted above calls for buttermilk and I think it helps change the recipe for sure! I've made a lot of pancakes in my day...actually it's how I reeled in my hubby!

Smitty's was ok but not as light as Perkins. Will try the IHOP recipe!

Add a few tablespoons of white vinegar to your milk and let it sit for 15 minutes before you add it to your recipe. Makes all the difference

half and half cream instead of milk, 1/4 tsp cream of tartar and Blue Ribbon double action baking powder. Slowly stir with a spoon until it's just mixed, over stirring makes them tough. Best pancakes every time if you follow this route!

Google "Good old Fashioned Pancakes" - the result comes from AllRecipes.com. I've been making them for years and they are great.
