Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Pancakes
- Don't overmix the batter! Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough pancakes.
- Let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes before cooking. This allows the gluten to relax and the baking powder to activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle and lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
- Adjust cooking time based on your stovetop and desired level of browning. Thicker pancakes will require longer cooking times.
