    However you like your pancakes, thick or thin, round or misshapen, white flour or whole wheat, Pancake Law dictates that the last of your batter MUST be used to make an extra large pancake the size of your cooking pan

But the game-changers in this video are bringing the buttermilk to room temperature before adding the melted butter and resting the mix for 30 minutes. Those steps made my pancakes near perfect!

      That’s right, and don’t use some weird oil spray, use some real butter. I go as far as to apply butter as soon as I lift and flip each pancake so both sides get the same buttery treatment. I don’t cut my butter, I just hold it by the parchment paper, and peel it back till I get to the end of it that way I can apply it across the entire pan really fast.

    16:25 Counterargument, you actually _can_ mix your batter the night before (if you're not using a premix) you just need to leave the baking powder until shortly before frying it up. Then you just need to rest it for 10 or so minutes, which you can use to gently heat your pan. The long rest is more for the flour than the leavener, so it has time to properly hydrate and lose that flour-y flavour and texture. If you're into whole grain pancakes, overnight (or at least a few hour) rest is a total game changer, since the bran takes a lot longer to soak through and soften to keep it from being unpleasantly "scratchy". Always thoroughly soak your whole grains for anything you're making, and your kids will eat it too.

    The dutch idea of a pancake is quite different to the american one. The basic concept is the same of course, but ours are very thin compared to the average one you'd find in the US. almost like a crepe to your eyes, probably. BUT, in terms of surface area, they are much bigger. Generally just the size of the pan. That's right, we use regular frying pans and make one pancake at a time, unless we're using multiple pans.

    I always do my pancakes with eggs, flour, milk, sugar and a pinch of salt. They're relatively thin (not nearly as thin as Crêpes, but also not at thick as American ones) and are as big as the pan I'm using.

    i always use pearl milling (formerly aunt jemima) pancake mix but ignore anything that says just add water. i use the ratio one part dry mix, half part milk, one egg, and one tablespoon of veg oil. generally makes around 4 medium pancakes. fantastic easy pancakes with very little measurements.
