As the official Pancake Maker at home, I’ve found that there are two secrets to soft, fluffy pancakes every time: Secret Number 1: Combine your wet and dry ingredients at the last minute, just when you’re ready to fry them. I know some recipes ask you to chill the batter but I’ve found that resulted to flatter pancakes for me. Secret Number 2: Do not over mix the batter. You don’t want a smooth batter but a lumpy one. Again, I know other recipes suggest mixing the batter in a blender but I prefer to do it by hand so I have more control. Experiment! I would love to see how yours go.
