This copycat Denny's pancake recipe tastes like the real deal and saves you from having to put your shoes on and find the car keys. You're going to love these golden fluffy pancakes made from scratch in your own kitchen because it's even easier than you think!
These are the best ever buttermilk pancakes from scratch and once you try this recipe yourself, you'll be hooked. every bite is so fluffy and soft, the right amount of flavor in every bite, it's an addictingly good pancake that will have you eating stacks at a time.
We love Denny's so much but now that we live a good 40 minute drive from the nearest one, it's hard to justify the drive and costs. Making this Denny's pancake recipe at home has been a huge budget saver.
Before we moved, we were ordering Denny's for delivery a few times per month (way more than pizza) so you can imagine our savings. These pancakes taste like the real thing and even more so when you use leftover Denny's syrup and some whipped butter over the top of a warm stack of golden pancakes.

🍴 Recipe Tips
Do not overmix the batter. Your goal is to get the flour incorporated so that there are no more streaks and the batter should retain a few lumps.
You know your pancake is ready to flip when the edges look set and there are bubbles in the center. You may need to have a few test pancakes as you adjust to the proper heating temp.
Do not squish your pancakes when you flip them as this will press out the air and cause the pancakes to turn out rubbery and flat. You want them tall and fluffy, so let them rise to the occasion.
🔪 Instructions
Check out how to make Denny's pancakes with these simple step-by-step instructions:
