Delicious Fluffy Pancakes

Starting the day with a plate of fluffy pancakes is always a good thing.

And, these might just become your new favorite pancakes.

The Joy of Cooking Buttermilk Pancakes

I haven’t always been a huge fan of pancakes. But, when I made this Jiffy Cornbread pancake recipe I fell in love and I’ve been craving them on a regular basis ever since.

They are so flavorful and it was fun to share them with the kids and see smiles cross their faces after taking a bite.

And, the best part of making these pancakes? The whole family will love them because they are super easy to make and it only takes about five minutes to whip them up and start cooking.

At the center of the recipe is a box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. Just add a few ingredients you’ve got some delicious pancakes.

This is the fluffiest buttermilk pancake recipe and they end up with a tad bit of a crunch around the edges when they cook in the butter.

Don’t you love soft and crunchy pancakes?

Some people add a little bit of sugar to the pancake recipe, but I leave it out because the Jiffy Cornbread box mix is a little bit sweet on its own.

How To Make Jiffy Cornbread Pancakes

1. Add the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, all-purpose flour, and baking powder to a medium bowl and whisk.

4. Cook, flip, cook, and serve.

Step-By-Step Instructions For Mixing the Jiffy Cornbread Pancake Recipe

Start by adding the muffin mix to a medium-sized glass bowl.

The mix will make about eight pancakes total, but you can double the recipe if you’d like more than eight pancakes.

Next, add the flour and baking powder to the mixture.

I’m not a scientist, in fact, I usually have to ask my kids any science questions, but I do know that the baking powder will create a chemical reaction and help make the pancakes fluffy, which is what we’re aiming for.

Next, add the eggs to the batter.

The eggs will help keep the recipe moist and hold everything together.

Pour the buttermilk into the batter.

Most pancake recipes call for a cup of milk, but I added buttermilk because I just think buttermilk makes everything taste better and it gives it a rich flavor that can’t be beaten.

Stir the ingredients until most of the lumps are gone.

You will still have a few tiny lumps and that is ok. (Sorry about the blurry hand pic, but you get the idea).

If for some reason, you feel that the batter is a little too thick, just add another tablespoon of buttermilk and stir until it thins out a little.

You don’t want it too thin because the pancakes will spread and not be fluffy. They need to be a little bit thick when they go into the skillet.

You can kind of see the thickness of the pancakes in the picture below.

Cooking the Buttermilk Pancakes

Place a couple of tablespoons of butter into the skillet and let it melt.

I use about one tablespoon of butter to start off with and save the rest of the butter for topping the pancakes.

Scoop the pancakes and pour batter into a large skillet or griddle and let them cook in the melted butter for a few minutes on each side.

The Temperature of the Skillet to Make the Best Pancakes

In order for the pancakes to cook properly, you need to get the temperature up to about 365-degrees.

I used an electric skillet and it only has one knob and five settings, so after looking in my book I knew that setting number four would be the right temperature.

Each electric skillet is a little different, so check in your appliance book to find the right temperature. Some knobs will actually have the temperature on there.

If you are making the pancakes on the stovetop in a skillet, use the medium heat setting and that should get the pan hot enough.

If the pancakes spread a little and begin to touch each other, you can either take your spatula and scrape them apart a little, or wait until it’s time to flip them and wedge them apart.

It’s a good idea to start off with a hot skillet because it will keep the pancakes from spreading too much.

The heat will start cooking the pancakes immediately.

Flipping the Pancakes

When the bubbles start appearing and bubbling up, like in the picture above, it’s time to turn them over.

You can also lift the edge of the pancake to see if it is golden brown and ready to flip over.

Cook the pancakes on the other side for about three to four minutes and add to a plate.

Top with butter and syrup. It’s that easy!

My pancakes don’t usually come out in perfect circular shape or round pancake form, and you know what? That’s fine. They still taste incredible.

Optional Toppings For Pancakes:

• A pat of butter right on top.
• Fresh blueberries – these are the perfect way to add more delicious treats to the dish.
• Blueberry syrup – this is one of my favorite ways to add some sweet flavor.
• Honey butter syrup – this adds a little sweet flavor to this easy recipe.
• Strawberries – these are always a great thing to add to pancakes.
• Warm maple syrup over a little butter is heavenly.

And, you can add a cup of orange juice on the side of your cooked pancakes.

How much sugar is in Jiffy cornbread mix?

Jiffy is known for being sweet cornbread (and amazing cornbread, if you ask me), so you can add more sugar or leave it out of this recipe.

• If you don’t add anything to the cornbread mix, Jiffy contains 8g of sugar.
• You can find the nutritional information below for the pancakes.

How To Store The Pancakes

You can store the pancakes in an airtight container or place them on a plate and put some plastic wrap over them. Keep the pancakes refrigerated.

Are These Similar To Johnny Cakes?

Johnny cakes are more savory pancakes. They are similar but are just like regular pancakes.

What Kind Of Skillet Should I Use?

You can use a cast-iron skillet, a griddle, or a regular stovetop pan skillet for this recipe. Any of these will work perfectly for your delicious cornbread pancakes.

Just heat up whatever you are using, add the butter or cooking spray, add the pancake batter, and it will cook quickly.
