Notes

TIPS FOR THIS FLUFFY PANCAKE RECIPE

  • Do not over mix: Your pancakes will be dense and hard if you mix too long. You only want to mix the ingredients together and stop.
  • Butter the pan when you are cooking the pancakes. This helps them to not stick and adds more flavor.
  • Butter: top the pancakes with REAL butter and REAL maple syrup.
  • Use whole milk! This is important for the overall taste. The added fat in whole milk makes these pancakes perfect.
