This recipe offers a stress-free way to make fluffy, golden sheet pan pancakes for eight people without flipping. Perfect for brunch gatherings, it delivers evenly cooked pancakes with crisp edges and a tender crumb.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups (720 ml) buttermilk (or milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar as substitute)
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange your oven rack in the center.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Whisk to combine evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Add buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until combined.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Lightly grease a large rimmed sheet pan (about 18×13 inches) with butter or non-stick spray. Pour batter onto the pan and spread evenly to about ½ inch thickness.
  6. Bake for 15–18 minutes until edges are golden brown and center springs back when pressed. If wet spots remain, bake 1–2 minutes longer.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes on a cooling rack or counter.
  8. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or toppings of choice.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy. Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for even baking. Grease the pan generously to prevent sticking. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before baking to help bubbles form for fluffiness. You can customize with blueberries, chocolate chips, or spices. For gluten-free, substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. For vegan, replace eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free milk and butter.
