SIO Tips no. 36

Five tips for perfect pancakes:

1.  It's important to measure the ingredients properly to make sure you don't end up with rubbery pancakes.

2.  Use a large whisk to mix the ingredients; this means that more air gets whisked into the batter to make lovely light pancakes.

3.  If you have time, make the batter a few hours in advance or even the night before. The time resting improves the texture of the cooked pancakes.

4.  Heat the pan for a couple of minutes before adding the fat to make sure it doesn't burn. Be sure to grease between pancakes to make sure they don't stick. (A non-stick pan is your best friend when making pancakes!)

5.  Wait until the batter is bubbly before you flip it. Flip it too soon and you'll have a mess on your hands.
