Frequently asked questions
Good questions, answered.
Why do my pancakes turn out flat?
Make sure the baking powder is fresh and avoid overmixing the batter, which can deflate the air bubbles that help pancakes rise.
Can I make the batter ahead?
It's best made fresh, but you can mix the dry ingredients ahead and combine with wet ingredients right before cooking.
