What Makes Pancakes Fluffy?

Do you like pancakes? Most people do. You can have cake for breakfast which is fun and delicious. How often can you have dessert for a meal? I'm sure not often and when you can it is that much more fun. How do you make sure the pancakes are delicious? I'm sure you want to make fluffy pancakes, but what makes pancakes fluffy? Here are a few things to keep in mind when making pancakes in order to make sure they are fluffy and tasty.

There are several things you can do to keep your pancakes from being fluffy, and you should avoid them. Most of them have to do with the batter. First, be careful when mixing the dry ingredients. Make sure you don’t forget the baking soda or baking powder that will make it rise. Also, don't forget to sift the flour. This will help the pancakes to be much fluffier.

Next, you are going to mix the wet and dry ingredients together. This is another important step that you can easily mess up. Don't beat the batter. This is the easiest way to avoid fluffy pancakes and even make them tough. I doubt you will ever want tough pancakes. Mix the batter gently until the ingredients are all moistened and a batter is formed. There may be a few lumps, but that is okay. Lumps are better then tough pancakes.

Finally, when you cook the pancakes and flip them over, don't press down on them with the spatula. Just pour in the batter, cook until bubbles form, flip and cook the rest of the way. If you flatten them you are going to get, believe it or not, flat pancakes that are far from fluffy.
