Tips for Making the Fluffiest Pancakes:

• Use fresh baking powder and baking soda. These ingredients will help your pancakes rise and become fluffy.
• Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will toughen the pancakes.
• Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten to relax and will make the pancakes even fluffier.
• Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Cooking them over too high heat will burn the outsides before the insides are cooked through.
• Serve the pancakes immediately with butter or syrup. This will help them stay fluffy and moist.

Variations:

• Add 1/2 cup of blueberries, raspberries, or chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet treat.
• Use buttermilk instead of milk for a tangy flavor.
• Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for a delicious aroma.
