Do you want to know how to make the fluffiest pancakes ever? These pancakes are tasty, fluffy and super easy to make! It is made conveniently in one bowl for easy cleanup. It is perfect on its own but you can also add your favourite toppings like fresh fruits, yogurt, whipping cream or a drizzle of maple syrup if you feel a little bit extra, like me! 😉

Tip #1

Temperature Check: If you’re unsure about the skillet’s heat, test it by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If they dance and evaporate, the skillet is ready for the batter.

Tip #2

Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes after mixing. This lets the baking powder start working, making the pancakes even fluffier.

Tip #3

Consistent Cooking: Cook the pancakes consistently by using the same amount of batter each time and cooking them on a medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring thorough cooking.
