These fluffy mayo pancakes are a quick breakfast with a surprisingly tender texture and a rich, buttery flavor. The mayonnaise blends right into the batter, giving you light pancakes that cook up beautifully on the griddle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • butterfor serving
  • syrupfor serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.

  2. 2

    Add the mayonnaise, water, and vanilla to the well. Stir until combined, then gently mix into the dry ingredients until just blended.

    Tip: Do not overmix or the pancakes can turn dense.
  3. 3

    Melt a little butter in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

    Tip: The pan is ready when a drop of batter sizzles gently.
  4. 4

    Spoon about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the hot surface and spread lightly into rounds.

  5. 5

    Cook until bubbles form on top and the edges look set, about 3 mins. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.

    Tip: Lower the heat if the pancakes brown too quickly.
