Notes
Tips for the Best Pancakes:
✔️ Don’t overmix the batter – it keeps the pancakes light and fluffy.✔️ Let the batter rest – this allows the baking powder to activate.
✔️ Use medium heat – prevents burning while cooking evenly.
✔️ Add-ins? Fold in chocolate chips, blueberries, or mashed banana for extra flavor!
