I want a "But Worse" series. Where you take dishes from super fancy, high end restaurants and recreate them as simply as possible. And you're limited to only the most basic kitchen appliances that the average adult would own. Exclusively shopping at Walmart would be the cherry on top.

2 cups - all-purpose flour 1/4 cup - granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon - baking soda 1 tbsp - baking powder 1 teaspoon - fine sea salt combine 1 cup - buttermilk 1/2 cup - whole milk 1- whole egg 1- egg yolk 2tbsp - vegetable oil optional 1 teaspoon - vanilla extract medium heat 2 mins flip and then 2-3 more minutes

I want a, “But Better Cookbook” with all the recipes for all your But Better videos, like with a Taco Bell section and a burger chain section. Would 100% buy

My wife and I picked some fresh blueberries this afternoon at a local farm and made these blueberry pancakes with the blueberry syrup for dinner. They were so mouthwatering delicious! Definitely worth the extra effort. We even have leftover blueberry sauce to spread on our english muffins in the morning. Thank you Josh for this amazing recipe!

I'm convinced that Joshua thinks better ALWAYS equals thicker and taller.

I can't believe he didn't make his own maple syrup. Josh is getting soft.

As someone who worked at ihop and has been haunted by pancakes since, these actually look worth trying!

I really want to know how to make their stuffed french toast (but better). That is always my favorite!

I often make the IHOP copycat pancake recipe and load up the batter with fresh blueberries. It never fails me. I also love Matty Matheson's pancake method, which involves separating the whites from the yolks and whisking the whites until they're nice and frothy/aerated. Makes them super fluffy. Either way, real maple syrup and butter are essential.

"people only go to IHOP for pancakes" I don't know how to tell you this Joshua, but I almost never get pancakes at IHOP

Made this pancake recipe (specifically blueberry) on my 15 min break while I’m working from home. Was missing some stuff so I had to make a few substitutions but holy cow this is easily the best pancake I’ve ever made 1000/10

Finally! Someone has shown how to make that delicious cinnamon topping! I can’t wait to try it!

I remember going to an IHOP for the first time (as someone from the UK) and the amount of butter that came on the pancake was so obsene I thought it was icecream... needless to say the first spoonful was a surprise....

Having been using your pancake recipe for years, I already know how this will go.

I always (always, always) add vanilla to my pancake batter. If I use frozen berries that had thawed, I add that thaw juice to the batter too giving the cake a slight berry flavor.

Hey Josh, unlikely you'll see this on an old video, but I just discovered you and have been binging your vids. It has been a really rough day for me, and your enthusiasm and humor and awesome cooking mojo has lightened my spirits. So thank you so much.

You always make everything better papa! Just like this day!😊😊😊😊😊

Watching joshuas videos while eating makes my food taste better

Great video. Keep them coming. Especially love the content where you focus on appropriate technique for prep of constituent fresh ingredients b/c it usually strikes an appropriate balance . I will never do enough volume cooking for a family of four to achieve the technique mastery of a high end prep cook, but you seem to appreciate that when discussing technique and adjust accordingly.

Look at that ! Over 8 million subscribers! Josh works hard and always gives you 200%. I'm certainly going to try these pancakes. I trust his recipes.

I'd love the see an ihop french toast one! Their pancakes are, pancakes. The french toast hits different than homemade tho

Made these yesterday and they were by far THE BEST pancakes I've ever had! My guests agreed!

Dude I just made this for my family and the batter alone blew everyone away. Chef's kiss, Papa.

I am so happy that you spread the butter around on the pancake this time.

Just got back from the Netherlands and I'm not sure what they do different but their pancakes are INCREDIBLE! Melt in your mouth.

I use a 1/4 cup at home always works great. When i work, simple laddle works perfect and consistent. Also easier to clean than a ice cream scooper.

I tried your recipe and it turned out aaaaaaamaazing. Thankyou 😊

Absolutely breaks my heart that Josh doesn’t know the absolute magic that is Extra Dark grade maple syrup.

You should do a weekly healthy video! Protein Pancakes are always decent but never great, I wonder if you could elevate them to something amazing!

as someone who works at ihop, i’m very intrigued to see how this goes!

Love your first cookbook. Pre-ordered the second!

Love your collab with the italian grandma, Joshua vs grandmas should be a thing, with you learning from grandmas of different countries

Thank you for all of the hard work you put in to get these recipes next level on point!! P.s. would love a pt.2; IHOP omlettes, my fiancé is obsessed w them 😅

Josh is one of those guys that you need watch their videos to eat better

You know, I follow so many bakers, cooks, chefs on KZfaq, but this guy MAN!! Every one of his recipe I follow has become a success at my house. I don't buy cookbooks ever! But I have to get his cookbook. Thanks for sharing honest, easy to follow and delicious recipes. Also, the humor is like the cherry on top of the Sunday. 😅

Thank you so much Mr. Weissman, my big brother got me your cook book, and I’m seating in my bed reading it, and it’s inspiring me to write my own, even though I’m not 13 yet, but it’s inspiring me to try, so I just wanted to say thank you

Hahaha, you're a trip! That is exactly how I make my pancakes w/blueberry sauce (minus the corn syrup 🤷‍♀️). Add that vanilla baby 😊 Love the vid, thank you!

I would love to see a badass banana bread recipe!! I have two that I use but I know that, like everything you make, yours would be amazing!

I’ve made these pancakes about 6 times since this video. I’ve an unhealthy obsession with this recipe. So freaking good!

Excellent recipe!!!

I’m pregnant and let me tell you!! You make my growing baby happy lol it’s disappointing having a craving and huddy runs to the store to get it and the food is bad🤢🤢😭 the but better has been a life saver. Thank you for everything from the both of us♥️♥️♥️

Quick tip for the majority who get pancake mix. If you mix your batter with warm water instead of milk, it comes out much more fluffy and less lumpy. Hope you try it, and enjoy!

Can't wait to see the new place and all the awesome videos that will follow

THE MOST entertaining cooking video I’ve even seen! Hands down, I subscribed

To be honest, I really love IHOP pancakes. However, I'm always looking for a better pancake recipe to make them at home.

I really like their butter pecan syrup! Would love to see you recreate that and their big steak omelette! That's the only thing I get when I go there... Once every 3-4 years!

I have been WAITING for this but better. I made them this morning and my 2 year old looooves them. He actually did a little dance and whooo when i shower him the first one lol

I NEED a but better cook book! Literally my favorite series on here

I have to ask, why don’t you do collabs? You’re a better chef than most people on KZfaq, it would be great to see you collaborate with some other cooking creators

Your pancakes look and sound a lot better than IHOP for sure! Then again, everything you recreate looks way better than the original counterparts. Keep up the great work Joshua!! When I make pancakes it is so similar to what you are doing but just a slight difference. If you ever get a chance look at my pancake video. I can't claim ownership for the recipe but wow it is so good.

I’m so happy to see your videos pop up on my feed.

Really nice mix

Everyone: “this maple syrup smells amazing” Josh: “smells like a toy factory”

I think Josh should do a video where he runs his own diner for a day

We made these Sunday! OMG! Minion approved. Both my kids loved them and so did I. Thanks Papa Josh!

I made the buttermilk pancakes today, and they are great!

Those pancakes of yours turned out great. As expected from the GOAT chef.

Just made these but added a few things. Some dried lavender flowers, some lavender extract, and matcha powder. I kid you not, some of the most floral and aromatic pancakes I've ever eatten. Absolutely wonderful and very filling. Gonna freeze the rest in vaccum bags and toast em another time.

I made these today they were delicious!

Made these on my last camping trip. It was a hit! I used the blueberry pancakes with the cinnastack. Omg, so good!

Honestly the best syrup for pancakes is Cracker Barrel's Syrup...literally the best. I am going to try this out this weekend and see how they turn out...thanks Joshua.

1 question about the recipe. 2 cups of flour is 250 grams, but in your recipe you say 2 cups of flour is 300 grams. I used 300 grams and it came out a bit thick but good, but I am wondering which it should be and if you will update the written version of the recipe?

Josh, you make food/cooking absolutely fun and hilarious. I made your Korean corn dogs with my stepsons, priceless. We’ll get to work on this one when they get back on Sunday. Good work, you make this stuff easy

Better than IHOP? YESSSS!!! I followed the recipe to the letter, and I was AMAZED. So much better than IHOP. And you have to know that pancakes and waffles are my favorite food on cheat days. Now they will be even MORE favorite. Thank you, man! You're awesome!

Josh blueballed us in the first minute by having us think we'd see his new kitchen

Can you store the cinnamon mixture and icing in the fridge for a few days? I’m guessing you can…. This would be great to make on a Sunday night and just throw it all together for breakfast during the week

Was able to buy your cookbook can't wait to use it!

Looks yummy!! 😋

Remember…for that extra FLEX you can always add 1/4 cup of sourdough discard to the batter.

Finally something I am an expert in that Joshua is creating/testing. Sorry to say, Joshua, that your buttermilk pancakes are as ordinary and quotidian as anybody else's on KZfaq; this includes all the French chefs, Martha Stewart, and all the rest of the usual suspects. I've seen them all, amateur to pro - perhaps 50 different cooks, and they ALL have the same mix as you. This is terribly wrong. The ingredients other than the flour for my recipe are all the same: sugar, salt, leavening, whole milk, eggs, vegetable oil. And NO vanilla extract. The secret lies in the flour - or should I say flours, plural. You see, pancakes need multiple different flours to create that special flavor that we old-timers knew as children but has been absent for about 30 years now, so you wouldn't know it. The key is to use not just regular wheat flour but also corn flour and rye flour. Use them in a 2:1:1 ratio (with wheat as the higher primary) Then to this add 1/2 cup buttermilk powder instead of fresh buttermilk. This seems counterintuitive but trust me. You also make the mix far too dry, the end product far too tall and massively dense, which will sit in your stomach like a lead weight. And they risk being underdone because they need to cook much longer than a thinner batter requires; you can have fluffy pancakes that aren't an inch thick. And that's it. The difference is subtle but noticeable. I serve mine with just butter so the flavor comes through. I come by this recipe after my favorite mix was destroyed when the company was sold and I was forced to recreate it. Try it. Use it always as a basis for all other buttermilk pancake variations. You won't be sorry. Thank you for all that you do, kid.

“Do your thing 21” 😂😂😂 love the content and can’t wait for the cook book. Thank you!!

I like the advice from King Arthur to work in a little bit of malted milk powder to get a bit of flavor depth. I also found a cooperative of small Vermont farmers who sell their syrups together and let me tell you: the taste difference is incredible.

Remember Joshua, restaurants can’t be charged with breaking and entering.

I love when Josh tries to assert his dominance over an underpaid worker as a celebrity chef

I’ve started making sourdough pancakes and am hooked. It’s a great way to use my sourdough discard.

Just wanted to say that I made the pancakes with the cinnamon syrup (gluten free and 1/2 sugar subs) and they are my favorite pancakes I’ve ever made from scratch! Made it for me and my husband and we are happy. Thank you so much for this recipe! 😋

I can't get buttermilk where I'm from :( Can anyone give me the best replacement for buttermilk please?

No matter what pancake recipe I use , my batter always seems much thinner in consistency than what it’s supposed to look like 😭. So I don’t get fluffy pancakes. I always measure the ingredients exactly but I just don’t know what goes wrong. Could anyone help? Edit: this recipe worked out perfect 😂

I felt that “Just do things that make you happy” I felt that

It was the face at 4:38 and the line "Papa belives in you" that got a like and subcribe for me. That's what did it. I laughed genuinely. My wife watches your content a lot, this was what finally won me over. Fantastic stuff.

Stop having kids people! It’s immoral to subject your children to unnecessary suffering without their consent! Because no one can consent to being born, it should be assumed that consent to being born doesn’t exist; therefore, no action should be taken on behalf of the child. Just like how it’s not okay to r@pe an unconscious person just because they can’t consent to your act. Everyone has the rights to eternal peace & freedom from all harm, both of which can only result from remaining in the void. Therefore, every human being has the right to NOT be born so long as they cannot provide informed consent to being born. Otherwise, bringing a child into the world without their consent is a violation of their autonomy & cannot be ethically justified!

I never would have imagined to hear Joshua say "do your thing 21" but I'm here for it

This dude is great 😂💯 i have seen all his videos. Keep up your great cooking brother

I was waiting for this one

I have never liked pancakes but I made these for my grandson and I couldn’t stop eating them. They are delicious!!

Just pre-ordered my book!!!

2:06 i love the gasp 😂

I made pancakes today and thought let me make the cinnamon spread..I didn’t have any cream cheese to make the glaze so I just did the spread..came out great! My son was excited…he doesn’t like anything on his pancakes at all (don’t know how he could eat dry pancakes but it’s him lol ) but the spread was good with him and he loved it! 🙌🏽 thanks for another great video!!

I made the cinn-a-stack pancakes today and wow 😭 those were the best pancakes i have had in my life honestly 🙌

Lawd those blueberry pancakes!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍

Those homemade pancakes are the best looking pancakes I’ve ever seen. I’ve got to try these.

Brilliant cheff

Made these this morning and they were delicious. I used einkorn flour instead of AP so reduced the liquid. I live at 6,300 ft elevation so next time I'll reduce the leavener. With less air pressure, they rise fast then fall a little.

Joshua's hair is on point now. So fluffy.

Hey josh! Newly disabled longtime watcher. Miss being able to make your videos, having low energy makes doing anything “but better” is out of my reach. I was wondering if you’d ever consider a “but easier” series, stuff that have less steps but still easy to do and extremely tasty?? I deserve tasty food again hehe… these pancakes are making me hungry

I worked brunch for many years and my only critique of the pancake batter is: needs about a half cup more liquid, and fold in a few tablespoons of melted butter at the end. Personal preference is no vanilla in a buttermilk pancakes, but works great in plain milk recipes.

Im going florida in september and Ihop is one of the priorites on the to-do list. No amount of heresy from this man will change that

Josh!!!! We would love to see a “But Vegan” series❤❤❤❤❤

Their burgers are phenomenal

@joshuaWeissman for the recipe! I am 32 weeks pregnant and after watching your video, I was craving blueberry pancakes, and so I made the ones from this video, and they were great!!!
