Notes

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest before cooking.
  • Cooking at medium heat (375°F - 400°F) ensures even browning.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes light and airy.
  • Use non-dairy alternatives for a dairy-free version.
  • To keep pancakes warm, place them in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest.
  • Leftover pancakes can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven.
