Tips for Cooking Small-Batch Pancakes
- Don’t overmix the batter – a few small lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Use a HOT griddle – Your pan should be hot enough that a drop of water sizzles when it hits the surface.
- Flip only once – wait for bubbles to form before flipping the pancakes.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Flour
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Milk – you can use buttermilk if you have it on hand, but we usually don’t.
- Butter – you can use oil in place of butter, but I like the richness that the butter adds.
- Salt
