Tips for Making the Fluffiest Pancake Batter

Avoid Overmixing

[{ "selector": "#anim1", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Keep your batter balanced when combining wet and dry ingredients even if some lumps are remaining.

Beat Egg Whites and Yolk separately

[{ "selector": "#anim2", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Beat the egg yolk and whites separately to make the consistency airy.

Let the batter rest

[{ "selector": "#anim3", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Allow the batter to rest for 10-15 minutes to hydrate the flour and activate the leavening agents.

Add Buttermilk or Yogurt

[{ "selector": "#anim4", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Buttermilk and yogurt enhance the acidity of the batter which lifts it up and makes it fluffy.

Add a little Sugar

[{ "selector": "#anim5", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] When beating the batter, add a little sugar to help it lift up and enhance the crispiness of the pancakes.
