Mix the wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls.
Pour the wet onto the dry and lightly whisk together, not overmixing. Adjust with more liquid if it's too thick or more flour if it's not thick enough.
Spoon about a half cup or whatever size pancake you prefer onto a preheated skillet or pancake pan.
Cook the cakes on mid to lower heat until the top starts producing little bubbles, lifting and checking the underside to make sure it’s not getting overcooked.
From there just flip and continue, and careful not to punish the spatula. ‘Flat as a pancake’ does not mean ‘crushed.’
The trick is in ensuring the inside is done with no wet batter, yet achieving that without overcooking or annihilating the outer layers.
Close monitoring, timely flipping, and heat adjustments are key.
After that, you’re done.
Stack and serve with syrup, whipped topping, nuts, fresh berries, or anything you prefer.
