💡 Expert Tips and Tricks
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by combining regular milk with a little bit of lemon juice.
- It's normal if your batter has a few lumps in it. Overmixing might lead to tougher or drier pancakes, so allowing some lumps will keep them tender and fluffy.
- Toppings like berries, chocolate chips, or nuts can be sprinkled over top of the batter before baking.
- A half sheet pan is usually 16 by 11.3 inches (or 41 by 28.8 cm).
❔ FAQs
Overmixing and overcooking are two of the major reasons your pancakes might turn out dry or a bit tough. A few lumps in the batter are ok, so avoid mixing too much. Check the pancakes at the 15- minute mark as well to see if they're done cooking.
Using both baking powder and baking soda is a great way to give your pancakes a nice, light texture. This is another reason why you don't want to overmix, as overmixing will cause more gluten to develop and will make the pancakes tougher.
The pancakes are ready when the top looks set and lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

📝 Substitutions and Variations
- Up to half of the regular flour can be substituted for whole-wheat flour for a bit of a healthier result.
- This can be made dairy-free! Use a plant-based milk with a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to mimic the buttermilk, and use oil instead of butter.
- Blueberries, dried apples, and sliced strawberries can be mixed into the batter for some more flavor.
Kristin's Kitchen Tip
Allow cold ingredients to come up to room temperature so the batter comes together more easily!
🥡 Storage and Reheating
Leftover sheet pancakes can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or so. You can also arrange pieces with parchment between them and freeze for about 2 months.
To reheat, cook in the toaster oven, air fryer, or microwave. The air fryer will probably give you the best result texture-wise. This baked pancake recipe can be reheated from frozen, though it will need some extra time this way.
