No one wants to have dense or yucky pancakes, but with these tips, you’ll never have to worry!
Pan
When it comes to the pan you choose, the best two options are either a cast iron or a non-stick. And if you use a griddle, a cast iron type is still the best. You want these types of pans because, believe it or not, it’s actually better not to use any oil or butter in order to fry the pancakes. Using fat to cook the pancakes will lead to unevenly cooked pancakes, and if you can use a pan that is non-stick or something that gets really hot like a cast iron pan, you have a better chance of cooking them more evenly.
Butter
While butter isn’t necessary for the cooking part of the pancakes, it is crucial that you have some in the batter. Not only does it impart a great flavor into the pancakes, but the fat will also make it softer and easier to cook. The thing with the butter that a lot of people get wrong is they melt it to add it to the bowl with all the wet ingredients. However, the better thing to do is to put it into the batter last after the other wet ingredients have been combined with the dry, this way the butter doesn’t harden.
