These pancakes are extra fluffy thanks to a shot of seltzer. Their large size is classic for diners, but you can make smaller, easier-to-flip pancakes by scooping ¼-cupfuls of batter onto your griddle.

Cooks' Note

To feed a larger group, double the recipe and keep pancakes warm in a 250°F oven between batches. If you don't have a griddle or 2 skillets, use 1 skillet to cook the pancakes.
