Nothing tastes better than fluffy original pancakes with crisp edges and fresh fruit. The best part about this easy recipe is the fact that it requires minimal ingredients.

This stack of original pancakes are super fluffy and delicious. Smear a little butter and drizzle some maple syrup on top for the ultimate breakfast plate. Although, I love eating pancakes for dinner as well.

  • These pancakes are made from scratch and are super easy to make.
  • Not everyone may like blueberry pancakes but most people love original plain pancakes, especially the kids.
  • These can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
  • This recipe is super versatile and you may add chocolate chips, bananas, blueberries, etc.
