Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. If you don't have corn oil, vegetable oil or melted butter can be used as a substitute. To add flavor, consider incorporating vanilla extract or cinnamon into the batter. For a twist, try serving them with a drizzle of Karo syrup for a sweet finish, reminiscent of American recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a gentle stir before using, as some separation may occur. However, for the best texture, it's ideal to cook the pancakes immediately after mixing.
What can I do if my pancakes are too thick?
If your pancake batter turns out too thick, you can simply add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. A thinner batter will yield lighter, fluffier pancakes.
Can I freeze these pancakes?
Absolutely! Allow the pancakes to cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper in between and place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, just pop them in the toaster or microwave.
