  3. Pour wet mix into dry mix. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are fine.

  5. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the pan.
  6. Cook until small bubbles form on top and edges look set, about 2 minutes.

Q: Can I make the batter ahead?
A: Yes. Make the batter and keep it covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir gently before using.

Q: Why are my pancakes flat?
A: Likely old baking powder or overmixing. Use fresh baking powder and mix until just combined.

Q: How do I know when to flip?
