Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Add eggs and whip lightly with an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Blend in milk and cream, a little at a time on medium speed.
- Do not overmix; mixture should be smooth.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, separate the eggs and beat the whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them in at the end. If you don’t have heavy cream, you can substitute it with an equal amount of whole milk or buttermilk. Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract can also enhance the flavor. Remember not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream for an indulgent touch. They pair beautifully with a side of crispy bacon or sausage for a hearty breakfast. For a special treat, consider serving them alongside Nanny'S Old-Fashioned Chocolate Pie for dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or on a skillet over low heat until warmed through. You can also microwave them for about 20-30 seconds, but this may make them a bit soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a gentle stir before cooking, as it may thicken slightly when chilled.
What can I use instead of eggs?
For a vegan alternative, you can use flaxseed meal or applesauce as a substitute for eggs. Mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg or use 1/4 cup of applesauce to replace one egg.
How do I know when the pancakes are done cooking?
Pancakes are ready to flip when bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Avoid pressing down on them with a spatula, as this can make them dense.
