My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Batter Resting Magic 💫
Let the pancake batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to hydrate and produce lighter, fluffier griddle cakes.
Griddle Surface Prep 🧈
Use a non-stick griddle or well-seasoned cast iron pan, and lightly grease with shortening or butter to prevent sticking and create a golden crispy edge.
Bubble Timing Technique 🫧
Wait until small bubbles form and start to pop on the surface of the pancake before flipping, which ensures the first side is perfectly cooked.
Even Portioning Hack 📏
Use a measuring cup or squeeze bottle for consistently sized pancakes that cook evenly and look professionally made.
Temperature Sweet Spot 🌡️
Maintain a consistent 375°F griddle temperature to achieve golden-brown exteriors with soft, tender interiors.
