Fluffy Pancakes Amsterdam — MOAK
Fluffy Pancakes in Amsterdam — MOAK's Sugar-Free Buttermilk Stack
The fluff isn't an accident — it's the buttermilk. MOAK's pancake batter is organic wholegrain wheat flour and organic buttermilk, with no sugar added. That gives our pancakes their tall, airy, lift-from-within texture that holds its shape under maple syrup.
We've been making fluffy pancakes in Amsterdam since 2016. Three locations now — City Center on Jodenbreestraat, De Pijp on Ferdinand Bolstraat, and Utrecht Neude — same recipe, same fluff, same walk-in-only daily 08:30 to 15:30.
If "fluffy" is what brought you here: order The Blue Magic Deluxe (three stacked blueberry pancakes with banana, strawberries and optional saffron pistachio ice cream) or The Mancake (bacon, melted cheddar, grilled onions between two pancakes). Both are MOAK's Favorites for a reason.
Why MOAK's pancakes are so fluffy
It comes down to what goes in the batter: organic buttermilk instead of milk, organic wholegrain wheat flour, and no sugar — every batter made fresh in-house, never from a bag, and rested just long enough for the flour to hydrate. The result: pancakes that sit 2-3 cm tall on the plate, hold maple syrup without collapsing, and survive being stacked three high under a scoop of saffron pistachio ice cream.
