Introducing my easy fluffy American pancakes recipe. With only 6 ingredients and 2 minutes preparation, you get a perfect fluffy texture. These pancakes make hands down the best easy breakfast or brunch recipe.
I love everything about these pancakes. First, they are extremely quick and easy to prepare, with only a few basic ingredients that everyone has at hand (yes everyone: egg, milk, flour, sugar, baking powder – that’s it!). Then, they turn out perfect each single time I make them, with a lovely small round shape, and an amazing fluffy and light texture. And finally, they make me hungry as soon as I see them!
I have shared pancakes recipes on the blog before, but I have never shared a basic pancake recipes. And the fact is that sometimes you are just craving for some classic fluffy pancakes for breakfast. Something easy and quick to make. Weekends are to me the time of the week I want to treat myself with a fancy breakfast, which sometimes turns out to be a brunch depending on when I get up (although I love getting up early). But with a long week behind me, I often happen to be lazy, and for these lazy mornings, this easy breakfast recipe is just perfect.
How to make fluffy pancakes step by step?
We all love fluffy pancakes, but sometimes our pancakes turn out flat and thin. This is how I make my pancakes in just a few easy steps:
- First, mix all the dry ingredients.
- Then mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix (do not overmix).
- My secret: let the batter sit for a minute or two. It will allow the baking powder to activate and make your pancakes fluffy.
- Heat oil or butter in a skillet and once hot, add a few tablespoons of the batter, making sure they don’t spread out to the outside.
- Cook for a minute, until fluffy. Flip, and cook for another minute.
And voilà! You have perfectly fluffy pancakes in NO TIME!
What to serve with my pancakes?
Maple syrup + butter! Yes, maple syrup is my favorite topping for pancakes, always. Because these pancakes are so fluffy, they absorb the maple syrup right away, bringing a subtle sweet touch. If you are not into any diet, consider adding a little bit of butter too. It will melt over the warm pancakes and add a nutty flavor.
Other topping ideas you may also consider:
- Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries… – basically any berry make a perfect topping for your pancakes.
- Homemade “Newtella” – to all chocolate lovers out there, make sure you try my homemade chocolate hazelnut spread.
- Almond Hazelnut Praline Paste – so insanely good!! Also perfect on French crepes if you ask me.
- Foolproof Dulce de Leche – a cheat-recipe ready in minutes that works every single time.
You can also add some toppings to the batter directly! Consider using blueberries, chocolate chips, pecan nuts, chopped macadamia nuts… I always add them once the pancakes are in the skillet to make sure they spread evenly in the batter (also they make your pancakes look gorgeous!).

To me, these easy fluffy pancakes are linked to my life in Chicago, since I tried them the very first time on January 1st for a tête à tête New Year’s breakfast with my boyfriend, who turned out to be a little bit more since we had just got engaged! The weather was cold and slightly snowy, and everything was silent outside after the festivities from the night before. We topped these pancakes with raspberries, drizzled maple syrup all over and devoured them! Fun fact: at the time, I didn’t know I would move to Chicago just a few months later. And here I am now, with a huge stack of American pancakes in front of me, yum!

hello
i used these in my food course work
thanks!
That’s so sweet I hope it went well!
Franchement c’est vraiment ideal votre recette et delicieuse. Merci beaucoup
J’en suis ravie, merci beaucoup ! Del
I have made in advance for a 4 July breakfast with my group of 7. Here in Sydney’s lovely Northern Beaches, Australia. Easy to make, used oil as tablespoons is an odd way to measure butter.
Hope they freezw well and we all enjoy them. Have some blueberries, little sausages and bacon too.
I just made the american-style pancakes and I am very happy with the result! They are fluffy like a sponge and easy and fast to cook! Really appreciate it.
★★★★★
So happy you like them, Julia 🙂 Del
Hello !
C’est vrai que les classiques sont tellement bons et plaisants, et pourtant on oublie souvent d’en partager nos recettes maintes fois approuvées.
De même, il faudrait que je partage ma recette de pancakes vegan ^^
En tout cas ta pile est superbe et me donne vraiment envie.
Bon week-end et profite bien ~
Bises
Oh oui, n’hésite pas à en partager ta version vegan, elle servira pour sûr à beaucoup d’entre nous 🙂
Ils ont l’air tellement booonnnnnn!!! Moi, j’adore le dimanche matin rien que pour ce genre de chose ^^ biz.
Je suis parfaitement de ton avis, Aurore. Le dimanche matin est fait pour un bon petit déjeuner/brunch, gourmand à souhait, et pour moi les pancakes en sont presque incontournables 🙂
Miam, un petit déjeuner comme je les adore…
Oh oui, moi aussi. Parfait pour le week-end 🙂
Perfect brunch Recipe. These pancakes look so light and so fluffy.
Thank you, Peter! I’m so glad you like them too! 🙂
Ho many calories for each pankcake ??????
★★★★★
I do not focus on the calories, and it really depends on how big you make them anyway.
I cooked these today and they were so delicious. 5 star from me. soooooooo yummy .
★★★★★
Thank you so much, I’m glad you liked it! 🙂
If you double this recipe how much should you use for two people ?
★★★★★
Hi Tonya, I’m not sure I understand your question. If you double the quantities you have of course twice as much, that’s it! 🙂
When I make American pancakes, I use 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup milk per person. Your recipe of 1 cup of each would feed 2 hungry, pancake loving people, not 10 servings unless the servings were 1 small pancake. Nice recipe though otherwise.
Hello! Thanks for your feedback and good point here: the number of pancakes can indeed change a lot depending on the size. Happy that you liked the recipe. Del
Have you ever used buttermilk Inplace of the milk?
I haven’t indeed but I bet it would work perfectly and probably make the pancakes very moist. Let me know if you try!
Fluffy and delicious. I wanted them savoury so I only put 1tbsp of sugar. And it was sweet enough even for the left over one I used with jam.
★★★★★
I love that you share with us your little twist to the recipe, thank you Lizon!
Top notch and as we say in Liverpool they where fit ie nice lovely
★★★★★
So glad you liked them, Lizon 🙂
Hiii can I make these pancakes with unsweetened almond milk ?
Absolutely. It will work pretty well too!
Bonjour! Ne vaudrait il pas mieux verser la préparation liquide sur la préparation sèche? Est si je fait cela, ça y changera quelque chose a la recette une fois fini?
Bonjour Lilly! En soi ce n’est pas trop grave de faire dans un sens ou l’autre. Je trouve juste qu’il est plus facile d’incorporer progressivement les ingrédients secs aux ingrédients humides plutôt que l’inverse pour que le mélange se fasse de manière plus homogène et plus facilement.
I am trying to make this for my little brother’s special birthday breakfast, and I just know he is going to love them! An interesting thing about pancakes I have learned is that if you don’t make them perfect, they won’t be after cooking. And I think that you made them perfectly! You can also add a few drops of food coloring to make the pancakes a little more fun and colorful! Alright, I’m about to take the plunge. I’ll reply saying if I was successful or if these pancakes were a flop.
★★★★★
Hi Ella! Thank you for your nice comment. I hope you and your little brother loved it! 🙂
Amazing Recipe.
I will use it again :):)
★★★★★
Made recipe as it says just added about a 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract. They turned out perfect! I will never buy boxed mix again. I topped them with sliced strawberries, cool whip, a few mini chocolate chips (for fun) and lightly drizzled maple syrup over the top. My two boys ate them right up! Thank you for posting!
“Baking powder” is actually the wrong ingredient. It should be “baking soda”. Baking powder makes it flat, and baking soda makes them fluffy, I just compared both.
★★★
Hi! I think you meant the opposite. Baking powder is indeed the right ingredient for this recipe and is the one that make them fluffy. Thanks for your interest for the recipe!
Can I perhaps make this with am egg substitute such as unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg? Thanks!
Hi Caitlyn! Yes, you can absolutely use a flax egg instead!
I have been making these every weekend for my family. So easy and tasty.
★★★★★
A separate questions – are you able to add nutrition to the website for the recipes. Some cooking sites have it. I am diabetic and I would like to know about the carbs since I eat them so often 🙂 Thank you.
Hi Teodora! A very good question indeed! I do post some nutrition facts on my so-called healthy recipes from time to time. For my regular recipe, I do not want to focus on that aspect as I believe we need to enjoy a little bit of everything without the guilty feeling that sometimes/often comes with it. That being said, I understand of course that your situation is different and I might reconsider this aspect in the future. Thanks for pointing this aspect out! 🙂
I’m 16 and have never made pancakes before in my life, I’m about to use this recipe to make them for my family this morning. Reading the reviews everyone seems to have succeeded to let’s hope I do too! Will tell you how it goes Xx
I agree, these pancakes are so delicious and the recipe is perfect. There are some things that the word “calories” should never feature! I also put tons of maple syrup on them without feeling bad. 😀
Oh thank you so much! Very happy you liked them 🙂 Del
I know, I love them too as they are absolutely foolproof, super quick and easy to prepare. They are an absolute favorite in my house!
Amazing I have been searching for a recipe for ages and this is the best one so far. Cooked them and did it without a single dab of butter to stop them from sticking compared to other recipes what fell appart or didn’t taste as good.
Best recipe so far doesn’t stick or break appart when trying to flip them and works oil free in a tefal non stick pan perfect and tasty compared to other recipes
Thank you
★★★★★
Simply amazing. Thank you so much for this. I didn’t know how to make pancakes but now I do. I added cinnamon to my mix and it came out amazing. Muvh love all the way from Kenya
★★★★★
Oh I’m so glad to hear people are making my recipes as far as Kenya! Fun that you like the pancakes too! 🙂
Hey Del girllllll,
Just wanted to say your pancakes were faaabbbb xoxo
Your biggest fan.
★★★★★
Oh, thank you so much, Miriam! All the best. Del
These pancakes were absolutely amazing…I just wanna know how much calories does a serving consist of?
★★★★★
Hi Emma! This is actually a good question, I haven’t done the maths so I’m not really sure. I should check it out some time!
Will it still work if i were to add more sugar? Got a very sweet tooth you see and want to make them a little sweeter and 5 stars all the way this is such a perfect recipe for me probably the first pancakes i havent ruined
★★★★★
Hello! Yes, you can sure add a little bit more sugar to the recipe if you wish; I would add two or three tablespoons max so it doesn’t change the batter texture too much. I’m glad you like my pancakes recipe! 🙂
Peeeerfeccccct!!!!!
★★★★★
Thank youuuu! 😀
Thanks!!!
Pancakes realisés ce matin aver du lait de riz et ajout d’une c à s de maizena. Tout simplement parfaits!!! Merci pour cette recette.
Just made these for my husband’s birthday together with my 7 year old daughter. I loved the taste but also that they were simple enough to make with a child.
Very successful! Thanks for the recipe, will make rhem again 🙂
★★
Sorry meant to rate them 5 star but my phone wouldn’t let me!
★★★★★
No worries, try to come back and rate the recipe on your computer when you have a couple of minutes if you can. It can really make the difference for me and help readers to have access to the recipe too 🙂 Thank you for your consideration, I truly appreciate.
Oh, I love cooking with children and it makes me happy to hear that. Thank you for your feedback!
Cool recipe
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!
This recipe is going in my recipe binder!
AMAZING pancakes
5*
★★★★★
My whole family loves these pancakes, thank you! I’ve lost count how many times we’ve made them. When I double the recipe I make the following changes- reduce milk to 1.5 cups, use olive oil, only 2 Tbsp sugar, 1/4 tsp (or less) salt. I add a little vanilla when I remember. With a 1/4 cup for each pancake I get about 13 pancakes.
★★★★★
I’m so happy to hear it, Cari! Thank you for stopping by and leaving your adorable message and your tips and tricks to the recipe! All the best. Del
Wow… This recipe is so simple and easy to make and I hope this will also very yummy. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe with us.
Thanks for your nice feedback, I’m so happy you like this pancake recipe!
Great recipe! I do have one question. When you say 200 degrees are you referring to an oven or the stove top?
Thank you! Yes, I am referring to the oven temperature, where you place the pancakes to keep them warm before eating 🙂
Can I use a normal frying pan instead of non stick
Yes it should work too. Just make sure the pancaked do not stick to the pan.
I added mashed ripe bananas instead of sugar, and a dash of cinnamon. It was perfect!!!
I love your twist to the recipe, thanks for sharing it with us!
Absolutely divine…..and very simple!
★★★★★
Thank you!
Bonjour, je voulais savoir s’il est possible de les réaliser la veille et de les réchauffer au four le lendemain matin? Merci beaucoup!
Oui il est parfaitement possible de faire ca. Pour ma part je les réchauffe au micro-ondes. Mais évidemment la texture est un peu modifiée par rapport à des pancakes tout fraîchement préparés.
My God daughter made these for me on one of my visits to her. Absolutely delishious. I make them for my Grandson all the time now (threw the boxed stuff away) He always says “Gam these are the best pancakes ever” ☺
★★★★★
I’m so happy that you all love the recipe and it now becomes a tradition in the family. Thank you for your feedback and all your kind words, I truly appreciate!
Bonjour, je viens de tester votre recette a la lettre, mais je me retrouve avec une pate a crêpe vraiment très liquide. 240 ml de lait pr 120gr de farine ne serait pas de trop?
Suis je la seule dans ce cas?
Bonjour Laurie! J’espère que vos pancakes se sont finalement avérés bien épais. En effet, la levure aide la pâte à pancake à lever très vite, donc pas besoin de s’inquiéter si au premier abord cela paraît liquide. Bonne semaine!
Thanks to you..i’d made my first pancake.
Love this recipe makes great pancakes. It is my go to recipe for my daughter and myself. Thank you.
★★★★★
I’m so glad to hear that, Beth! Thanks for your feedback. Del
Hi there can I freeze these then toast them? It would save me loads of time and money for school mornings!
Hi Vicky! Yes you can, absolutely! The texture won’t be exactly the same as for fresh ones but it works, especially if you use a toaster oven.
Hello Del, The best and tastiest pancakes and super easy. A huge thank you for sharing, will make these many mornings.
These are a favorite at our house. Thank you! Been doing them for all our brunches.
These pancakes came out extremely fluffy and tender….will be my go to recipe….it was fast and easy to make! DELICIOUS!
Hi Anja! I’m so glad you liked them. They are my go-to pancakes recipe for many, many years now 🙂
It’s amazing pancakes I’ve ever eat!!!
★★★★★
I’m always on the hunt for a good pancake recipe. These did not disappoint. I like to read the comments before I make recipes to determine if it’s something I want to try, so when I find something so delicious, it’s only right for me to comment as well. The only regret was I didn’t make a double batch! My kids and husband devoured these! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe!
Oh thank you so much, Tracy, for your super kind words! I’m so happy that you all liked the recipe. I, myself, sometimes double or triple the ingredients, depending on how many people come for brunch (and because I know there’s always someone who asks for some more)!
hi
do you need to add vanilla extract to them?
Hi May! This is totally up to you, the recipe works both with and without vanilla extract. If you decide to use some however, go for 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract that you can mix in with the wet ingredients. I hope it helps! 🙂
Hello
I love pancakes at the weekends but my pancakes are always flat and thin.I was overjoyed when i saw this recipe and it turned out PERFECT.Please make more amazing recipes like this one.I have a question, can you add fruit or syrup in the batter?
Thanks a lot
★★★★★
Hi Jane! So happy you liked them too! Yes, you can definitely add some fruits in the batter: I usually add a few blueberries for instance. I wouldn’t add syrup in the batter however, to keep some for serving 🙂 Thanks again and have a great day! Del
hello Del
I love your amazing tip-top recipe and now i will always use them and one question, do you have to add vanilla extract to the pancakes because i was looking at the comments and they mention vanilla and it confused me and if you do add vanilla, when do you put it?
Thanks Sally 🙂
★★★★★
Hi Sally! So happy you loved the recipe. The good news with vanilla is that you get to decide with or without, based on your own personal tastes. If you decide to use it, you can go for 1/2 to 1 teaspoon and simply mix it with the wet ingredients. I hope it helps! 🙂
The conversions seem off. I used 240ml of milk and the batter was too thin.
★★★
Hi Matthew. I made the recipe again yesterday and they turned out perfectly fluffy – I used 240ml, which is equivalent to 1 cup and it’s the right quantity of milk for the recipe. Are you sure you used 240ml and not cl, or that your baking powder was not expired? This or the other could mess up the entire recipe. Hope it will turn out just fine next time.
This is my go-to recipe now! Simple and easy and fluffy and delicious! Thank you.
★★★★★
So happy you like it, Melissa! Thank you for your feedback 🙂
Vraiment très bon ! J’ai pris 1/4 sarazin, 1/4 blé complet et 1/2 farine normale. J’ai rajouté une cuillère à café de vanille. C’était délicieux et un super goûter pour petits et grands !
★★★★★
Super ce petit twist Nathalie, ravie que la recette ait plu à toute la famille 🙂 Del
I woke up this morning with a craving for pancakes. so I googled “pancake recipe” and thankfully I found this one. I have to say I’ll never make them any other way. They were perfect, and really easy to make! Thank you.
★★★★★
A big THANNK YOU for such an awesome review! I’m so happy you liked them. These pancakes are indeed my go-to recipe every single time I’m craving pancakes 🙂 Del
Can this batter be made the night before or just better off making it first thing in the morning?
Hi Ashley! Yes, you can make the batter the night before, but chances are that your pancakes won’t turn out so fluffy. Personally I find the recipe so quick and easy that I always prefer to make it right away in the morning. Del
This recipe was delicious!! I love everything lemon and these pancakes were light and fluffy and had just the righr amount of lemon flavor! Yummy!
★★★★★
Thank you very much, Jasmyn. Happy to see you liked the recipe too 🙂 Del
Some of the best pancakes I have made in a while! I added chocolate chips to half the batter because…well, chocolate always makes things even better! The plain ones were also wonderful. Fluffy, but not too thick. I really do think letting the batter sit makes all the difference! 🙂
★★★★★
I’m so happy you liked them, thanks for sharing your thoughts! And yes, I do agree that everything with chocolate chips always makes things better 🙂 Thanks again for taking the time to write this nice review! Del
Thank you SO much for this amazingly easy, affordable and delicious recipe Del. It was the best American-style pancakes (our local direct translation is Plate Cookies) I’ve ever had (and made myself). Fluffy, tasty, perfect. I served it to my family with some golden syrup and banana slices as toppings. This lock-down has prompted me to explore my culinary skills a bit more and this recipe was a huge hit.
Tasty Greetings from South Africa.

★★★★★
Hi Martin! I’m so happy that my pancake recipe made it all the way to South Africa and most importantly that everyone in your family loved it. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review, it’s always a pleasure to read 🙂 Greeting from… Vancouver! Del
Great recipe!
★★★★★
Thank you! 🙂
Great recipe. My kids loved it. I used agave nectar. Recently I found out that it’s pretty bad for the health. So, back to maple syrup…
★★★★★
Hi Agelina! So happy you like this pancakes recipe, thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate! When it comes to the agave syrup, there are many different ways to process it, hence this warning. But in general, any kind of sugar is bad for health, so my reco is to use it less and occasionally 😉 That being said, I’ve always preferred maple syrup over agave syrup on my pancakes, because of its strong, smokey flavors! Del
I just stumbled across this recipe on Google and I am infinitely glad that I found it. This recipe made the best pancakes I have ever tasted. They were really easy to make and tasted INCREDIBLE! I ate one whilst it was still in the pan as I just couldn’t help myself. I am now going to use this recipe every single time I make pancakes and I have it saved in my bookmarks. The recipe was easy to follow and seriously, the pancakes were out of this world. Thank you so much for providing this recipe!!!!! 🙂
★★★★★
Thank you SO much, Maria! I’m so happy you liked this recipe. Thank you for your feedback 🙂 Del
Best American pancakes. Love them with berries on top.
★★★★★
Hey can I use bicarbonate soda instead of baking soda?
Sure you can. Bicarbonate soda and baking soda are just different names for the same thing. I know, very confusing! I hope this helps! Del
Hello!
I subbed 1 tbs of sugar for 1 tps of vanilla extract
And then the other tbs of sugar for coconut sugar
So good!!!
This is really a fluffy pancake ! I tried this at home and i love the results even though i tried to add some ingredients like vanilla extract still the pancake is fluffy and delicious.
Plus i am very overwhelmed because i tried so many pancake recipes from the internet but all of that won’t work until now.
And the reason i love it because it’s easy and not that much ingredients . Also there is an optional in some of its ingredients . This is a great recipe guys . I love it ! Very good job!
★★★★★
We were out of Bisquick (our usual “go to” for quick pancakes) and tried this recipe instead. Guess what? It is now our “go to” pancake recipe. We added 1/4 vanilla extract just because we love the extra flavor. Thank you for creating this wonderful pancake recipe!
★★★★★
Hi Del, just found your page and made pancakes! Such a great recipe, my boys (husband and son) loved them. So light and fluffy and took under 20 min to make them! Thank you very much! Can not wait to try your other recipes. Sending love from Newcastle Upon Tyne (UK)

★★★★★
Thanks! I’m so happy you like them 🙂 Del
I didn’t make this recipe exactly but I did take inspiration from it and it’s my second time today making pancakes. I followed it somewhat exactly yesterday only adding more sugar and vanilla, they were delish. Today I changed measurements around a bit and also used buttermilk – they were extra fluffy and probably even better! However, the 2 cups of flour only made about 10 medium sized pancakes and I have a big family so will need to make double the amount but I’m not sure how to properly double the recipe, do I do all the ingredients or some I keep the same? I really hope you can help me.
Today I used:
1 and half cups whole milk with 1 and half tbsp vinegar to make buttermilk
2 cups flour, 3 tbsp sugar, pinch salt, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda
1 egg, 4 tbsp melted butter and 2 tsp vanilla.
How should I double this/which ingredients should I double?
Thank you so much ❤️
★★★★★
Hi!
I’ve been making this recipe for the past 2 years, and I have to say… It is absolutely amazing! I’ve tried LOTS of ‘fluffy pancake’ recipes, and honestly not a single one comes close. Thank you so much for sharing what’s now become a family staple every Saturday morning. We love vanilla, and so I add a little bit of extract into this recipe for extra flavour.
★★★★★
I’m sooooo happy to hear that, Sophia! Thank you so much for your awesome feedback, this truly makes my day 🙂 Del
Followed the recipe exactly but my batter was way too runny. And my first pancake turned out pretty flat. Added extra flour and a tad extra baking powder and they then turned out like the picture. Next time I’d use less milk I think. Taste great!
★★★★★
Hi! I’m happy that you managed to get the right texture in the end. The recipe proportions generally yield perfect generous and thick enough pancakes. A few useful tips for next time though: 1/ let the batter sit for about 5 minutes before using (some baking powder do not act as fast as others), and 2/ make sure your pan is hot enough before pouring the batter or you will end up with flat pancakes. I hope this helps a little!
This is my go to Sunday morning pancake recipe!
We LOOOOOOOVE THESE!!
Thank you so much for a foolproof recipe, I am not a great cook but these are easy and taste amazing every time!!
★★★★★
Thank you SO much for such a great feedback, I’m so happy you like the recipe 🙂 Del
My favorite breakfast dish. Only I love them with chocolate cream or plain sugar. And I also make small ones in a small frying pan to make it easier to eat. Brilliant recipe, thank you for adding it.
★★★★★
Hello! I couldn’t agree more with the idea of adding some chocolate to the pancakes 🙂 Happy you like them. Thanks! Del
Can you make these the day before and warm in the oven?? Time is of the essence with 3 kids in the morning
How long can I keep the leftover pancake batter? and is it still fluffy?
★★★★★
Made at least 10 American pancakes with a mix to spare! A great tasty recipe for a weekend morning treat with tea.

I love this recipe! It is so simple and I make these cor my family every weekend and they love them.
I was wondering if you have any suggestions how I can change this recipe for making waffles?
Thanks!
★★★★★
Hi Jennifer! I’m so happy you like this recipe. Thanks for your feedback 🙂 I have indeed never tried to adapt this recipe to make waffles but thanks for the idea, I may try soo enough 🙂
Very good and simple to make -next time I might run the flour through a sieve first because I found there were some clumps after I mixed the dry ingredients and the wet ones.
★★★★
one of the best recipes I’ve ever come across well done Dell!
parfait pour la journee crepes, amour les biscuits aux copeaux pepites de chocolat trop.

Thank you so much, Michelle!
The best pancakes I have made ever! Super delicious, fluffy and soft. I used 3/4 cup yoghurt and 1/4 cup milk instead of all milk for this recipe though. Super tasty!
