Chef's Tips

  • This is time-consuming but fun - make it a weekend activity!
  • Keep finished pancakes warm in a low oven while you make the rest.
  • A squeeze bottle makes this much easier than spooning.
  • Work in batches and don't rush - patience is key.
  • Get the whole family involved in making them.
  • These are best served immediately while warm.
  • For chocolate version, add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder to the batter.
