What Is A Buttermilk Substitute?
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice to a cup of milk. Want creamier pancakes, use half and half or a mix of half and half and milk with lemon juice. Let the milk sit for a few minutes to create the buttermilk.
What Makes The Pancakes Fluffy?
The baking soda makes them fluffy. The butter on the pan makes them crispy and delicious. You can butter the pan between rounds of pancakes if you desired.
How Do You Know When To Flip The Pancakes?
The pancakes should start to bubble, but also start to look a bit cooked. You can then flip the pancake and cook it on the other side. Both sides take between 3-4 minutes.
The pancakes may puff up a bit (this is the fluffy part), don’t press them down. If you are not sure if they are done, you can press inside the middle with a spatula to check one to see if it is done or raw.
How High Is Your Burner Set?
You will want to turn your pan down to medium-low flame (possibly) to allow the pancakes to cook enough to brown (not blacken) and also bubble and cook the insides.
What Toppings Can You Put On Pancakes?
Serve them with butter and maple syrup. And if you want extra flavor, use blueberry or strawberry syrup, bananas or your favorite fruits. Chocolate chips are a favorite here too.
