Fluffy, soft, and even better than the cruise buffet pancakes 🥞🚢 If you have ever had pancakes on a cruise, you know how good they can be… but also how they sometimes sit out on the buffet and lose that fresh, hot, just-made texture.

This simple recipe uses everyday ingredients and comes together quickly, making it perfect for a relaxed breakfast or weekend brunch at home. We also share a few tips to help you get that classic cruise pancake texture without the downside of buffet pancakes sitting too long.
