Why aren’t my pancakes fluffy?
The most common reasons are under-whipped egg whites, overmixing the batter, or cooking at excessively high temperatures. Whip the whites until firm peaks form and fold them in gently.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
This batter is best cooked immediately because the whipped egg whites gradually lose their air. For the fluffiest pancakes, prepare the ingredients just before cooking.
Can I make these pancakes without separating the eggs?
Yes, but the pancakes will generally be less airy. Separating the eggs and whipping the whites creates a lighter texture.
How do I know when the pancakes are cooked?
The bottoms should be golden, the edges should be set, and the centers should no longer look wet. Cut into one pancake to check that the inside is fully cooked.
Can I store leftover pancakes?
Yes. Allow them to cool, then refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
