Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, try separating the eggs and whipping the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them in at the end. If you don't have milk, you can substitute with almond milk or a mix of yogurt and water. Adding a pinch of vanilla extract can enhance the flavor, and don't hesitate to sprinkle some cinnamon for a warm touch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can easily make this recipe gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Just make sure the blend is suitable for baking, and you may need to adjust the liquid slightly depending on the blend used.
How do I know when the pancake is done baking?
The pancake is done when it is puffed up and golden brown on top. You can also insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the pancake is ready. Keep in mind that it will deflate slightly as it cools.
