6 tips for Better Pancakes (Right out of the box!)
1. Forget the directions on the box – Find a water-to-mix ratio that works best for you, and stick with it to make your perfect pancake every time.
2. Swap water for club soda or seltzer – Jeremy prefers seltzer, but both work well to give the pancakes a lighter texture.
3. Don’t overstir the batter – Overmixing will make your pancakes dense instead of light and fluffy.
4. Cook on medium heat – Avoid high heat, as it can make the pancakes look done on the outside while leaving raw batter in the middle.
5. Give your pancakes a butter bath – Adding a little extra butter as they cook creates those delicious butter rings everyone loves.
6. Add fresh fruit – Enhance your pancakes with blueberries, strawberries, bananas, or a mix of all three for extra flavor.
