Notes

This recipe makes 13 pancakes that are about 4 ½", you can make them bigger if you like.

Don’t skip resting the pancake batter because it helps develop that perfect fluffy texture. I make my pancake batter and then let it rest while the griddle heats up.

Mix the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined, do not over-mix.

I use a ¼ measuring cup to portion out the pancakes.

I use a quick motion to get the turner under the pancakes without them sliding too much.

I have a ceramic griddle and don't use any butter or cooking spray when I make pancakes on it.
