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.
