Why Did My Pancakes Turn Out Flat and Not Fluffy?
Pancakes turn out flat and not fluffy if the batter is overmixed, which can develop too much gluten. Additionally, insufficient baking powder or using expired baking powder can result in a lack of rise. Lastly, cooking the pancakes at too low a temperature can prevent proper rising.
Can I Make These in Advance?
Absolutely! Cook them as usual, let them cool completely, and then store them in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in a toaster, oven, or microwave until heated through. This way, you can enjoy homemade pancakes with minimal effort on busy mornings.
Can I Freeze Fluffy Pancakes?
Yes, you can! After cooking and cooling them completely, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze initially. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat them directly from the freezer using a toaster, oven, or microwave until warmed through.

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes

In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar.
Step 2
Add the milk and the oil, slowly, continuing to stir them with the hand whisk.

Add the sifted flour and the baking powder.

Keep mixing until you obtain a smooth and thick batter. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before cooking.

Lightly butter a pan and start creating your pancakes by pouring the batter and giving it a circular shape.

Once the edges look set, you can get the pancake off the pan. It should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
