Cooking Tips

• Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough pancakes.
• Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the gluten to relax.
• For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg whites and beat them until stiff peaks form. Fold them into the batter before cooking.

Storage and Serving

• These pancakes are best served fresh and warm.
• If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving again.
