- Notes
- TIPS FOR THIS FLUFFY PANCAKE RECIPE
- Do not over mix: Your pancakes will be dense and hard if you mix too long. You only want to mix the ingredients together and stop.
- Butter the pan when you are cooking the pancakes. This helps them to not stick and adds more flavor.
- Butter: top the pancakes with REAL butter and REAL maple syrup
.
- Use whole milk! This is important for the overall taste. The added fat in whole milk makes these pancakes perfect.
