Cooking Tips

• For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg and beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Fold it into the batter just before cooking.
• You can add additional mix-ins to the batter, such as chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts.
• To keep the pancakes warm while cooking the rest, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C).

Storage and Serving

• Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a toaster or in a skillet over low heat until warmed through.
• Serve with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
