Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined—the batter should still have some lumps. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes, so mix as little as possible.
Step 5: Let the Batter Rest
Allow the batter to rest for 5–10 minutes . This gives the baking powder and soda time to activate, ensuring fluffier pancakes.
Step 6: Cook the Pancakes
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes .
Flip the pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes , until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7: Serve
Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite toppings—maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a pat of butter.
