MASTER THE FINE ART OF THE FLUFFY FLUFFY PANCAKE WITH THESE TIPS!
TIPS HOT OFF THE GRIDDLE
Tip 1: Add wet to dry
Always add wet to dry
- It’s always easier to add extra liquid, or hold some back, when trying to get the consistency you’re looking for.
- For this pancake recipe, aim for a consistency similar to cottage cheese.
Tip 2: Don't overmix!
Do not overmix. Lumps are good!
- Don’t overmix. In fact, you shouldn’t really be mixing at all. Instead, gently fold your batter.
- When it comes to pancakes, lumps are lovely! They create little air pockets as the batter cooks, making your pancakes nice and fluffy.
Tip 3: Let batter rest
Set your batter aside
- Leave your batter to rest for about 10 minutes. This gives it time to fluff up with air pockets.
- The more air pockets, the fluffier your pancakes will be.
- Planning a big brunch? Make your batter ahead of time and leave it covered in the fridge so it’s ready for later.
Tip 4: Little Bubbles? Flip!
Lots of tiny bubbles? Time to flip!
- Wondering when to flip your pancakes? Watch the bubbles forming on top.
- See a few bubbles appearing? This is a great time to add any toppings.
- Lots of tiny bubbles? Perfect. It’s time to flip that pancake!
Tip 5: Leftovers? Never heard of 'em
Leftovers? Freeze ’em and toast ’em
- Made one too many pancakes? No worries! (OR maybe you are thinking, too many pancakes? there is no such thing! With which we also agree.)
- Store them in a sealed freezer bag and pop them in the freezer.
- When you’re ready for a pancake or two, toss them in the toaster and they’ll be ready in no time.
- Please test your toaster with one pancake first.
