Tall Timbers Pancakes
Fluffy, buttery pancakes with a hint of vanilla and buttermilk, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch crowd.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Whisk egg, oil, milk, water and vanilla in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl combine pancake mix, sugar and baking powder.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the liquid mixture, whisking until smooth.
- Heat a lightly greased griddle and pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking. You can substitute the buttermilk with a mixture of milk and vinegar or lemon juice if you don't have any on hand. For added flavor, consider mixing in blueberries or chocolate chips into the batter, similar to what you might find in a delicious oatmeal cookie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream for a delightful breakfast. They also pair beautifully with buttery brie with walnuts for a savory twist. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside crispy bacon or sausages to complement the sweetness of the pancakes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. Reheat in a toaster or microwave until warmed through, ensuring they retain their fluffy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pancakes ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a good whisk before cooking in the morning. This allows for a quick breakfast option without sacrificing flavor.
What can I use instead of pancake mix?
If you don't have pancake mix, you can create your own by combining flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. This way, you have more control over the ingredients and can adjust them to your taste.
Are these pancakes suitable for freezing?
Absolutely! Once cooked, let the pancakes cool completely. Layer them with parchment paper and store in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Just reheat them directly from frozen for a quick breakfast.
