tips to make Easiest Pancakes EVER

Make sure not to overmix the batter. It’s okay if there are some lumps; overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
If you want fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking.
Adjust the heat as needed. If the pancakes are browning too fast, reduce the heat to cook them evenly.

variation (if any)

You can add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a little extra flavor. For a healthier option, try substituting whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour or add mashed bananas for banana pancakes.
