Giant Pancakes are a supersized version of the breakfast classic—fluffy, golden, and perfect for sharing or stacking tall. Made with simple ingredients, they’re great for a show-stopping brunch centerpiece or a cozy weekend treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups milk or buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for greasing pan)
  • Optional toppings: syrup, fruit, whipped cream, chocolate chips, nuts

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  4. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and grease with butter.
  5. Pour 1 to 1½ cups of batter into the center of the pan, gently spreading into a large circle.
  6. Cook for 3–5 minutes, until bubbles form on top and edges look set.
  7. Carefully flip with a wide spatula and cook another 2–3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Repeat with remaining batter.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
  • Cook over medium-low heat to avoid burning before the center is done.
  • Use a large spatula or two to flip the pancakes easily.
  • Great for freezing—just separate with parchment and reheat in toaster or oven.
  • Customize with mix-ins like berries, chocolate chips, or protein powder.
