Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, let the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking. If you don't have sour milk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes. This recipe is versatile; you can add blueberries or chocolate chips for extra flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole milk instead of sour milk?
Yes, you can use whole milk, but for the best results, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to the milk and let it sit for a few minutes to create a sour milk substitute.
How do I know when the pancakes are ready to flip?
Pancakes are ready to flip when you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges appear set. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
While it's best to use the batter fresh, you can prepare it ahead and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before cooking, as it may thicken while sitting.
