Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, try separating the egg and beating the white until stiff peaks form before gently folding it into the batter. You can substitute almond milk for regular milk or use whole wheat flour for a healthier option. If you want to add flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon during the mixing phase.

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. However, for best results, it's recommended to use the batter within 1-2 hours of mixing, as the baking powder may lose its leavening power over time.
What can I do if my pancakes are too thick?
If the batter is too thick, simply add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. This will help ensure the pancakes cook evenly and are light and fluffy.
How do I know when to flip the pancakes?
Flip the pancakes when you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges start to look dry. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes on medium heat. Cooking until golden brown on both sides will give you the perfect texture.
