Pancake Basics
• Since pancake batter does not need a lot of
mixing, overmixing is a frequent mistake. Dry
ingredients and wet ingredients should be
stirred together until just mixed. A few lumps
will remain. If your batter looks too thick you
may add more liquid. Using liquid that is called
for in recipe, add only one tablespoon at a time
until batter reaches desired consistency.
• A properly preheated Griddle is also very
important to perfect pancakes. So don't skip the
preheating.
• Once you have poured batter onto Griddle,
pancakes should only be turned once. When
top of pancake is covered with bubbles it is
ready to be turned. Second side will not take as
long to cook as first.

favorite scratch recipe or a boxed mix. Preheat
