Ihop Pancake Recipe

These copycat IHOP Pancakes are golden and fluffy pancakes that taste just like the ones from the popular restaurant chain. My family devours these every time I make them!

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 amazing! Especially with their butter pecan syrup. Yum!

We absolutely loved these pancakes. In my family’s opinion, they were BETTER than IHOP’s. Maybe it’s because they were homemade, I’m not sure. They were just amazing!

Whip your family up a batch of these and you’ll have some happy campers sitting at your breakfast table. These iHOP Pancakes are a great way to start off a great day!

FAQ

Why are IHOP pancakes so fluffy?

How Does IHOP Get Its Pancakes so Fluffy? IHOP Original Buttermilk Pancakes owe their fluffiness to both baking soda and baking powder in the recipe. Baking soda and baking powder are both rising agents that release C02; however, they do it slightly differently.

What brand of pancake mix does IHOP use?

IHOP pancake mix, ConAgra Foods | Conagra foods, Pancake mix brands, Best freeze dried food.

How does IHOP get perfect pancakes?

IHOP’s consistent griddle temperature helps to ensure they get the same delicious pancake results with every order. Combine this sweet spot of a surface temp for flipping flapjacks with the cook time they’ve likely got down to a science under one big flashy blue roof, and you’ve got pancake perfection.

Does IHOP use butter or oil for the pancakes?

IHOP doesn’t use butter or oil on its griddle, because butter can give the pancake that webbed, lacy look, instead of a uniformly golden brown ‘cake. If you need a little fat to keep the pancakes from sticking, Grimm suggests rubbing a little Crisco on a cold pan with a paper towel.
