Tips and Tricks for the Fluffiest Pancakes Ever ????✨
- Don’t overmix: Overworking the batter develops gluten and makes the pancakes dense. Stir until just combined.
- Let the batter rest: Letting the batter sit for about 5 minutes helps the baking powder activate and makes the pancakes even fluffier.
- Medium heat is key: Too hot, and the outside burns while the inside stays raw. Gentle, even heat is perfect.
- Flip once only: Wait until bubbles form and the edges set, then flip. Flipping too early = messy pancakes.
- Use fresh baking powder: Old baking powder won’t give you the same rise!
