IHOP Pancakes (copycat)
These copycat IHOP Pancakes are golden and fluffy and taste just like the ones from the popular restaurant chain.

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! 🙂

I thankful also you shared what to look for when flipping the pancakes. Thank you. Could you also share any recipes you have on cakes?
Best pancake recipe. I subbed the extra 1/4 cup of buttermilk for sour cream and used less sugar, no salt. Amazing!
These are so yummy. I use Greek yogurt and milk combined for the buttermilk.
My daughter and i Were craving ihop pancakes. We came across this recipe and decided to try it. We didnt have buttermilk so made it with milk and lemon juice and added a splash of vanilla. Im sorry to say that these were not copycat ihop pancakes. Theyre so much better!
There’s one thing I really miss since I’ve been to the US: ihop pancakes!
This recipe tastes like the original, if not better. Thank you so much for sharing!
Nice fluffy pancakes, the recipe made about nine good sized ones. I also added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla for flavor.
