Recipe Notes
Don't overwork the batterIt is important not to overwork the batter if you want light and fluffy pancakes. Over mixing the batter will make your pancakes slightly dense, and air bubbles will not form during cooking which keeps them airy and light.Keeping the pancakes warmIf you're doubling the recipe, you may want to keep the first batch of pancakes warm while cooking the rest. The best way to do this is to preheat an oven to 100 degrees Fahrenheit and place the pancakes in between parchment paper stacked on a baking sheet. This will keep them warm without sticking together.Cooking the pancakes evenlyUse a measuring cup to pour the batter onto the griddle so that all the pancakes are the same size.
