Use Fresh Baking Powder: Make sure your baking powder is fresh, as old baking powder can result in flat pancakes. This helps achieve that light, fluffy texture.
Don’t Overmix the Batter: When mixing your ingredients, only stir until just combined. Overmixing can develop gluten, leading to dense, chewy pancakes instead of fluffy ones.
Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your buttermilk, eggs, and butter are at room temperature. Cold ingredients can cause the batter to seize, leading to uneven cooking and less fluffiness.
Preheat Your Griddle or Pan: Ensure your griddle or pan is preheated to medium heat. A hot cooking surface ensures the pancakes rise properly and cook evenly.
Light Touch with the Pan: When pouring the batter onto the pan, do so gently, and don't press the pancakes down. Pressing them can release the air bubbles that contribute to fluffiness.
Use Buttermilk for Tanginess: The acidity in buttermilk reacts with the baking powder to create air bubbles, giving your pancakes a fluffy texture and a slight tangy flavor.
Flip Only Once: Flip your pancakes only when you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges starting to set. Flipping too early or too often can lead to dense pancakes.
Serve Immediately: For the fluffiest experience, serve the pancakes right away while they’re hot and fresh. If you're making a large batch, keep them warm in the oven on low heat to avoid sogginess.
