Recipes  
Pancake Basics!  
Since pancake batter does not need  
a lot of mixing, over-mixing is a fre-  
quent mistake. The dry ingredients  
and wet ingredients should be stirred  
together until just mixed. A few  
lumps will remain. If your batter looks  
too thick you may add more liquid.  
Using the liquid that is called for in  
the recipe, add only one tablespoon  
at a time until the batter reaches  
desired consistency.  
A properly preheated griddle is also  
very important to perfect pancakes.  
So don’t skip the preheating.  
Once you have poured batter onto  
the griddle, the pancakes should  
only be turned once. When the top  
of the pancake is covered with  
bubbles it is ready to be turned.  
The second side will not take as  
long to cook as the first.
