FAQs
1. Can I make these pancakes gluten-free?
Yes! You can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to make them gluten-free.
2. Can I make a larger batch?
Absolutely! Just double or triple the ingredients, and cook the pancakes in batches.
3. Can I keep the batter overnight?
It’s best to cook the batter right after mixing, as it may lose its fluffiness when stored overnight. If you must, store it in the fridge and stir gently before cooking.
