Pancake Frequently Asked Questions

How to make fluffy pancakes?

To make pancakes extra fluffy, don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine!

Give the batter a quick mix until you can’t see any dry flour> you could also give the batter a short rest  (5 minutes).as this let's the flour soak up the liquid. Don’t worry about small lumps, they’ll cook away.

Why are my pancakes flat instead of fluffy?

It may be that you pan is too hot or, you've overmixed the batter.

How do I keep pancakes warm while cooking a batch?

Keep them in a oven on low to stay warm without drying out.

Tips for making Pancakes

  • Resting the Batter: A 5-10 minute rest before cooking can result in fluffier pancakes.

  • Flipping: Flip pancakes when bubbles start forming on the surface and the edges look set and light brown.

  • Heat Settings: Cook on medium heat for a golden-brown finish without burning. Start cooking when you pan is preheated.

  • Fluffy Pancakes: To make them extra fluffy, don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine!
