Pancake Basics!

•Since pancake batter does not need a lot of mixing, over-mixing is a fre- quent mistake. The dry ingredients and wet ingredients should be stirred together until just mixed. A few lumps will remain. If your batter looks too thick you may add more liquid. Using the liquid that is called for in the recipe, add only one tablespoon at a time until the batter reaches desired consistency.

•A properly preheated griddle is also very important to perfect pancakes. So don’t skip the preheating.

•Once you have poured batter onto the griddle, the pancakes should only be turned once. When the top of the pancake is covered with bubbles it is ready to be turned. The second side will not take as long to cook as the first.
