Tips to make the best pancakes
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh. If you want to see those fluffy pancakes, you don’t want to use old ingredients.
- Use a whisk to mix your batter. This will help avoid unwanted lumps.
- Don’t over mix your batter! This will help keep pancakes fluffy.
- Don’t crowd the skillet when cooking the pancakes. You want them to get a nice golden brown and don’t want them oozing into each other.
