What You’ll Need
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make these fluffy pancakes at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details.
- Buttermilk (no substitutions)- Find buttermilk in the milk section of the grocery store. Don’t use the powder that you add liquid to.
- Granulated Sugar– Granulated sugar is a fine sugar that adds sweetness to the recipe.
- Canola Oil– Canola or vegetable oil works just fine here.
- Large Egg– for consistency, I always use large eggs for my baking and cooking.
- Vanilla– For best tasting results, use pure vanilla extract.
- All-Purpose Flour– All-purpose flour is the main dry ingredient in this pancake recipe.
- Salt– I prefer using kosher salt or sea salt for my cooking and baking.
- Baking Soda– The baking soda helps the pancakes rise.
- Mini Chocolate Chips– Find mini chocolate chips in the baking section of the grocery store. Regular chocolate chips work just fine too.
- Heath Bar Toffee Bits– You can crush your own Heath Bars if you can’t find the bag of toffee bits near the chocolate chips.
How To Make Fluffy Pancakes
Preheat Skillet. Place medium sized non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Prepare Pancake Batter. Pour buttermilk, sugar, egg, oil, vanilla into large mixing bowl, stirring to combine. Add flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring to combine.
Add Chocolate Chips and Toffee. Stir in chocolate chips and toffee chips.
Cook Pancakes. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter into hot skillet, using a spoon to form into a round pancake shape. Cook until browned then flip to brown other side, usually 30-60 seconds per side. Remove and stack onto plate. Continue cooking all pancake batter, makes about 6 pancakes.
Brush Pancakes With Butter and Dip In Cinnamon Sugar. Brush tops of cooked pancakes with melted butter. Place sugar and cinnamon into a shallow bowl, stirring to combine. Dip buttered pancakes tops into cinnamon sugar then onto a serving plate.
Prepare Icing. To prepare icing, place powdered sugar into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk in heavy cream until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle icing over pancakes before serving or top with regular pancake syrup.
Recipe Tips For Success
Here are some tips to help make the best possible pancake recipe!
- Preheat Skillet or Griddle. Make sure your skillet or griddle is nice and hot before adding pancake batter. If it’s not hot before adding batter, the pancakes won’t cook properly and won’t brown one each side.
- Stir Batter Gently. When mixing pancake batter, stir gently and only until combined.

Hello. These sound divine! They sound like some pancakes we used to get at IHOP. I can’t wait to give them a try. I do have a question though… under the “What you’ll need” section, you mention that you must use buttermilk – no substitutes. Do you know if buttermilk powder would work okay?
Hi Kelly, for texture of the pancakes, I wouldn’t use the buttermilk powder if at all possible. Use the real buttermilk for best results.
These are delicious! My family loved them! Thanks for your delicious recipes. On rotation at our home is your malted pancakes. This one will be added into our rotation also. 😊
