tips to make Old Fashioned Pancakes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay to have some lumps. This will keep the pancakes fluffy.
Make sure your skillet or griddle is preheated properly to avoid uneven cooking.
Adjust the heat as needed while cooking to prevent burning.

You can add chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts to the batter for a fun twist on the classic pancake. Serve with different flavored syrups like strawberry or chocolate for added variety.

FAQs

1. Can I make pancakes without buttermilk?
Yes! You can replace buttermilk with regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for a few minutes before using it.

2. Can I make pancake batter ahead of time?
It’s best to cook the pancakes right after mixing the batter for the fluffiest result. However, you can store the batter in the fridge for a short time, but use it within 24 hours.

3. How can I reheat leftover pancakes?
You can reheat pancakes in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or in a toaster oven until warmed through. They can also be reheated on a skillet for a few minutes.
