This is why my pancakes always turned out fluffy 😂 I never purposely did it it’s just after a while I’d get tired of mixing and would just think “I’m sure the rest of the lumps won’t make much a difference”
@@SnailHatan Well more likely I use the wrong materials since I use like a spoon and I make a lot of pancake mixture because I have a lot of mouths to feed. It definitely takes longer than 15 seconds for me but yeah 👍
@@nyxminecraft2315 I mean it gives you something closer to bread than cake... So it's "wrong" in that way. But if you're aiming for something closer to a crumpet or whatever they're called maybe that's okay?
Love this! I learned the hard way one Saturday morning. Pancakes were chewy and almost rubbery in texture. Did it again; mixed until flour was not visible and the pancakes came out perfect! 😊
This channel has been an absolute GODSEND when it comes to my cooking. I never knew something as simple as over mixing was ruining my food. Thank you so much! You're doing Gods work lol
BRO YOU’RE A LITERAL LIFE SAVER- I had to make pancakes for my sister and I was freaking out because i suck at cooking and I can’t even read instructions- plus my sister is super picky so it has to be PERFECT- anyways I came across this and now I can make pancakes 😀👍
Okay so hear me out.. I always “over mix” mine. But I use this protein pancake mix and I make waffles with it. I always overcook them to where they’re crunchy (and I add some chocolate chips before I cook them) and then I top them with a tiny tiny tiny amount of maple syrup and I’m not even kidding. They taste exactly like chocolate chip cookies. Like exactly the same. Crunchy on the outside but chewy on the inside. I would say I like them 10x more than any cookie I’ve ever had and I used to love cookies more than anything. I’d take these over any cookie I was offered. They’re literally perfect.
I love to over mix my pancakes! I just make sure that I add a lot of powder to make the batter *really* thick so it will come out fluffy and soft just how I like it!❤
This is so true! In culinary school they tell you not to overmix and to let the batter sit for a few minutes to dissolve the lumps! (Dont let it sit TOO long or it’ll use up a good amount of the leavening if your baking powder isn’t double acting. ) (the reason over mixing is bad is because gluten is activated by agitation and liquid- and gluten is responsible for the texture, high gluten= chewy and gummy)
It can't JUST be the gluten - I have to eat gluten free, and not overmixing makes a HUGE difference in gf pancakes as well. My guess is that it has something to do with how the moisture disperses through the pancake - maybe the clumps soak up the steam as it cooks?
I love it when you use other creator's videos to make your points, I've been meaning to ask you to start doing that again, you used to do it a lot back in the day like in the Devacut video. It's very helpful to see real-world examples.
I separate the egg whites from the yolk, whisk them until they are stiff and fluffy and them fold them into the batter. Always a safe bet to make them fluffy
@@roarnell Me, too. Couldn't imagine using only water for the batter; you can add a spritzer of sparkling water to it though, makes them even a little airier
Thank you so much for this reciie! My mom made it first and they turned out amazing that was about a year ago! I made them today and they were super good! Delicious fluffy and soft. This might become just my favourite pancake recipe!
Wow.. No wonder my pancakes have never been great! Years ago I switched over to a brand that sold mix in a container with handle. You just added water, shook, and poured onto pan/griddle. They prob came out better because I couldn’t over mix getting all the dry stuff! Once my kids grew up I just stopped making pancakes but now I’m excited to start making pancakes again. :))
oh my gosh. this is literally why my pancakes come out flat, cause I MIX IT ALL THE WAY TILL THERES NO LUMPS. idk what id do without this channel, but also too bad i just missed this by a few hours cause i just made pancakes and they came out flat but yummy as always
I thought about you when making brownies from scratch. I aimed to fold until no dry flour was showing. I was careful not to overcook, but aimed at just very slightly undercooked and let it rest for a while. They came out perfectly. They wouldn't have if I hadn't watched some of your shorts over the previous few months for tips :)
I also want to add, replacing water with milk can really help make a fluffier pancake. Yes, I used to just use water because that was in the instructions of the packaging and sometimes we ran out of milk.
Ok I have made tons of pancake variations and currently this is my favorite (trust me yall these are crazily fluffy and so good) 2 cups all purpose | plain flour, (290 g | 10 oz) 1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener, (60g | 2 oz) 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 3/4 cups milk, (440ml) 1/4 cup butter, (60g | 2 oz) 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1 large egg
Nah the real trick is to use buttermilk and let it sit for at least 20 minutes to an hour so they form BIG air bubbles. Always fluffy and no lumps of flour in your pancake. It should look similar to a sourdough starter. Letting it sit overnight will make them taste better but won’t make them as airy (it tends to fall flat in my experience if left too long, at least at cold temps). Forming the bubbles and getting them into the pan ASAP is the best for texture.
I just realized that I don't like pancakes because everyone makes them "properly" I like my dense, flat, and rubbery pancakes, they taste so much better.
Idk if you’ll read this but THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! I kept getting so frustrated over my pancakes always being chewy and sad and this made me realize I shouldn’t be mixing it until the batter is smoother than water 😭 Anyways I followed ur advice and IT TURNED OUT AMAZING MY PARENTS KEPT ASKING HOW I MADE IT SO THICK AND FLUFFY
I think that it’s just intuitive for people who don’t experiment rigorously with recipes to just mix everything until homogenous, regardless of the recipe, myself included. It makes sense that things just gotta be mixed, and it’s aesthetically displeasing to the eye to see clumpy batter. Only after someone’s experimented with recipes for long enough will they understand how to mix that batter to the perfect consistency

Tried to make pumpkin pancakes and not only failed to preheat the pan right so they stuck, but probably did this too. My future pancakes and I thank you!🎉
That's something i learned over watching how the hot cakes come depending who made them in my house. My mother used to over mix, while one of my older brothers didn't mix them properly. Eventually i took control and now they are always fluffy
i find that using a spatula in a folding/mixing manner after mixing with the whisk to break down big clumps of the dry mix helps ensure the batter is not over mixed. mix mix mix.
I’ve also notice a difference between letting the batter rest and pouring it as soon as you are done mixing. I prefer letting it rest. The same goes for crepes 😋
So THATS why my pancakes suck. You're the best baking channel on youtube frfr

Sir, you’re a life saver. I always thought I had to get the lumps out.
The box literally says not to
Here's another tip, overmixing works really well if you make them thin, it gives more of a crepe feel rather than something being done wrong
Also add an egg for a crepe
My grandkids favorite! Now to throw in the chocolate chips!
@@thegirlnamedjessicamccown9194 there is no egg in pancakes?
@@sarafekih2410 they meant if you want a crepe, add an egg
@@ZuriWooooosh yeah sorry, my response was easily misunderstood, I meant that I didn't know you weren't supposed to put egg in pancakes
Overmixing isn't always a bad thing, as long as you adjust the thickness of the batter to get the perfect texture! Thank you for the tip!
When I unknowingly over-mixed my pancakes were stiff n tough.
Now that I'm careful they're perfect..
unless there's another reason?
Bro is actually everywhere 😭

Lol, a natural, then!
Smh I was always told to mix until no lumps. I love your channel btw. I've always sucked at baking but your channel helps me understand better
Break the biggest lumps to make sure there's no raw flour chilling in an air pocket tho!
But like mash (mashed potatoes) a few lumps is good! ❤️
The only time you want zero lumps is cake mix from a box. Even cakes and brownies you want a little bit of lumps.
@@ToodleNoodleI like creamy non lumpy mashed potato, like french style rich mash, no lumps 😅 but yeah for pancakes you want the perfect inbetween
Mixing until it's completely smooth is just the European way of doing it. It's not wrong just a different result

Thank you! I love panquques, but I guess I'm a culprit of over mixing! The difference is incredible!
Years ago we asked an Ihop associate how they got their so light and this is what they told us. Works amazing!!
Why does the overmixed look so good tho lol
It might look good but I personally don't like chewy pancakes
If u like that's fine though
If that’s your preference go for it
Because it's the better way to make pancakes
Ngl, I first thought the same 😭 thought it's the correct one
It’s personal preference
oh my gosh. this is literally why my pancakes come out flat, cause I MIX IT ALL THE WAY TILL THERES NO LUMPS. idk what id do without this channel, but also too bad i just missed this by a few hours cause i just made pancakes and they came out flat but yummy as always
Another tip is to use sparkling water instead of regular if you want really fluffy pancakes. The carbonation really does the trick.
Water to the pancakes? They don't even need water in the first place
Whole milk is 87% water so even if you use milk you're adding water.
Rip, OP, for the people acting like "sparkling" and "carbonated" weren't even words in your comment.
@NadiaBlaklint oh, well maybe I should give it a try
Have you tried using Sprite instead of carbonated water? I did... the pancakes turned out... quite interesting.
I thought about you when making brownies from scratch. I aimed to fold until no dry flour was showing. I was careful not to overcook, but aimed at just very slightly undercooked and let it rest for a while. They came out perfectly.

Underrated channel, u deserve 300k
These are greatest pancakes ever I made you are the best
Agreed
I like when they’re more chewy than fluffy, so this is good to know
I needed this tip unbelievably badly sir thanks
I have to forcibly stop mixing my pancake batter. They're perfect but stopping before it's fully mixed hurts.
Totally get you😢😂
I totally agree. Because It’s so hard to believe that those clumps won’t have a yucky aftertaste!! But it works out. Magic of science!!
I watched this a year ago and followed your advice since then, even though it feels kinda wrong 😂 my pancakes from then are always perfect :)
I just had pancakes for breakfast, these tips will be useful for next time!
Diabetes for breakfast, yum
Now I get it. I always mixed my pancake batter until everything is thoroughly blended. Thanks for the advice.
Love me some thin overmixed pancakes 🥞 😋
making pancakes for the first time today so this will be helpful
this was very helpful
I also want to add, replacing water with milk can really help make a fluffier pancake. Yes, I used to just use water because that was in the instructions of the packaging and sometimes we ran out of milk.
I put beer for tempura
I am learning how to cook from this channel. I have now learned the Pancake~
I always make the overmixed batter. So that is why my pancakes always failed. I thought it was the ingredients.
Its incredible how much mixing impacts baking
Ok I have made tons of pancake variations and currently this is my favorite (trust me yall these are crazily fluffy and so good)
2 cups all purpose | plain flour, (290 g | 10 oz)
1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener, (60g | 2 oz)
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups milk, (440ml)
1/4 cup butter, (60g | 2 oz)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
THAT'S EXPLAINS A LOT😭😭
THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭😭😭😭
