Is it better to use oil or butter for pancakes?

Answered by Egg Farmers of Ontario August 24th, 2025

Answer

Both work well, but butter adds richer flavour while oil creates a more neutral taste. For the fluffiest pancakes, use melted butter in your batter. It contributes to a tender texture and golden-brown exterior.
