Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make my pancakes extra fluffy?

The key is not overmixing the batter. Leave lumps in it, as overmixing develops gluten and makes the pancakes dense. Additionally, ensuring your baking powder is fresh and letting the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking allows bubbles to form, making them extra thick and fluffy.

Can I substitute buttermilk if I do not have any?

Yes, you can easily make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it curdles slightly before using it in the recipe.

When is the perfect time to flip the pancakes?

Flip the pancakes when you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges start to look dry and set. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat.
