i keep making pancakes and they just come out so bland. Well this morning I discovered the secret ingredient to make boring old pancakes delicious and flavorful! Drum roll please — the secret ingredient is… coffee creamer! That’s right — swap out 1/4 cup of milk with vanilla coffee creamer. I use this one from Whole Foods. It’s so yummy and delicious and it gives your pancakes a delicious buttery vanilla flavor.
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This mixture forms the base of our delicious pancakes.
Step 2: Add the whole milk, along with a delightful substitute, vanilla coffee creamer, to the dry ingredients. This secret ingredient swap adds a unique flavor and richness to the pancakes. It's a fantastic alternative if you don't have buttermilk on hand.
Step 3: Pour in the melted butter and crack in the large egg. Stir the mixture until the flour is moistened and all the ingredients are well combined. The result is a smooth and creamy pancake batter.
Step 4: Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. To test if it's ready, drop a small amount of water onto the surface. If it sizzles, it's time to proceed. Lightly brush the skillet with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5: Scoop the batter by scant 1/4-cupfuls onto the skillet, spreading each portion to approximately 3 1/2 inches in diameter. If you’re making rainbow pancakes pour the batter into piping bags and pipe the rainbow design directly on the skillet. Cook the pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the surface becomes bubbly and the edges appear dry. Then, using a wide spatula, carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
Serve these amazing pancakes with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream. The combination of whole milk and vanilla coffee creamer creates a unique and delightful flavor profile, making it an excellent substitute for buttermilk. So, even if you don't have buttermilk available, you can still enjoy these fluffy and flavorful pancakes!
Note: Feel free to experiment with different flavors of coffee creamer to create a variety of delicious pancake flavors. The versatility of this recipe allows you to explore various taste combinations.
Stir the batter only until the wet and dry ingredients are incorporated; overbeating will make pancakes tough and chewy instead of fluffy. No Buttermilk, No Problem! For each 1 cup buttermilk, mix 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice with enough milk to equal 1 cup and let stand for 5 minutes.

Baking soda is essential for baked goods, but baking powder is really what makes pancakes and biscuits rise and become so super fluffy. Double-acting baking powder, which is the kind that you'll find in the grocery store, produces bubbles in two ways: when it is mixed with wet ingredients and then when it gets heated.
Pancake lovers' biggest complaint when adding water instead of milk is that the flavor seems to change. Pancakes aren't as richly flavored with water. There are a few ways to improve your batter when you've used water, including: Add extra butter.
Heat up the pan using a medium-high flame before you try to cook your pancakes. It should be hot enough that a drop of water instantly sizzles and evaporates. Those with non-non-stick pans will need to add a bit of grease so that the pancakes don't stick.
To make the fluffiest pancakes possible, you need to make bubbles in the batter. You can make bubbles by using a raising agent, such as baking powder, and by making and cooking your batter quickly.
Restaurants tend to use real, farm-fresh eggs and real milk when making their pancakes, which as you might guess, adds to a richer, higher-quality eating experience.
Pancakes and waffles typically both contain baking soda, which causes them to rise. As soon as the baking soda is combined with the wet ingredients (which contain an acidic ingredient, like often buttermilk), it starts producing carbon dioxide gas bubbles that cause the batter to rise.
