Pancake Tips: Mistakes To Avoid


PANCAKES

Pancakes are one of the best things to ever happen to breakfast, second only to bacon. They're so light and fluffy, and they masterfully absorb butter and syrup. Or at least that's the case when you make pancakes right. But not all pancakes are made properly. Actually, a lot of people botch their pancakes. It's time we put a stop to this.  The principles behind making the perfect pancakes are simple: Just whip up a quick batter and fry them up. But so much can go wrong along the way, risking dense, flat or burned pancakes. If you've experienced these pancake tragedies, you're probably committing at least one, if not all nine, of the common pancake mistakes. Find out what they are and put an end to your pancake misery.

The Mistake: You're Skimping On Ingredients


You may opt for all-purpose flour for convenience's sake, but Alton Brown swears by mixing AP flour with cake flour for the best batter consistency. Who are we to argue with Alton Brown?


The Mistake: You're Estimating The Ingredients
If you want perfectly fluffy pancakes, you'll have to weigh your ingredients to make sure the ratios are accurate. Sure, it takes a little more work, but it's worth it.
The Mistake: You're Making The Batter In Advance

You might be tempted to store pancake batter for those I-need-pancakes-right-this-instant emergencies. You must resist the temptation. You should make the batter only right before you plan on cooking pancakes. If not, the flour will absorb too much liquid and thicken the batter, which will lead to imperfect pancakes.

The Mistake: You're Over-beating the Batter

It's your instinct to attempt to rid the batter of all its lumps, but this is an epic mistake. Instead, quickly whisk the batter just until the dry ingredients incorporate with the wet ones. Then stop even if you see lumps.
The Mistake: You're Over-flipping
Flip the pancake only once. If you need to cheat a little while cooking them to make sure they're not burning, you can gently lift the pancake to take a look underneath. Over-flipping can cause your pancakes to deflate.
The Mistake: You're Flipping Before The Bubbles Burst


One of the easiest ways to know when to flip pancakes is to wait for bubbles to form and burst in the center. Have faith that the pancake will let you know when it's ready to flip and you'll be rewarded with perfect pancakes.
