However you like your pancakes, thick or thin, round or misshapen, white flour or whole wheat, Pancake Law dictates that the last of your batter MUST be used to make an extra large pancake the size of your cooking pan

Me too! I’ve learned over the years to not over-mix, to not put any butter or oil in the pan, and the proper time to flip. But the game-changers in this video are bringing the buttermilk to room temperature before adding the melted butter and resting the mix for 30 minutes. Those steps made my pancakes near perfect!

@KairuHakubi 5 күн бұрын

pancakes that are not fried in melted butter are no pancakes at all.. In my experience, the best pancake mix is the ridiculous "pancake and waffle mix" which makes no sense.. it'd make terrible waffles. waffles need a totally different mix but because of the extra protein, they get sooo crispy. Best thing to avoid accidentally getting crispy crepes is to add extra baking powder to the dry, and lemon juice to the wet, so it foams.
