FAQ:
Q: Why are my pancakes flat and dense?
A: Over-mixing the batter is the most common cause of dense pancakes. Mix the ingredients just enough to combine them, and you’ll get light, fluffy results.
Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before cooking.
Q: Can I use a different flour?
A: Absolutely! You can swap in gluten-free flour, almond flour, or oat flour. Keep in mind that each flour behaves differently, so you may need to adjust the liquid levels.
Q: How do I know when the pancakes are fully cooked?
A: When the edges are set, and small bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, it’s time to flip. The other side should cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
