  • 1 cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions:

  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not over mix.

Tips for making perfect pancakes:

  • Do not over mix the batter. Over mixing will make the pancakes tough.

  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.

  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will help the pancakes to be more fluffy.

  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Pancakes are best enjoyed fresh and warm.

  • Consider using a griddle to get even heat

  • Making a large batch? Use a mixer instead of a wisp.

  • Get perfectly sized pancakes each time by using a pancake dispenser.
