Chef tips

For fluffy, tall pancakes, mix the batter just until the dry ingredients are incorporated; a few small lumps are the secret to a light, airy texture instead of a dense one. For an indulgent treat, add a handful of chocolate chips or fresh blueberries to the batter. Serve with a drizzle of honey or real maple syrup—the kids will love to help pour!
