  • Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Dry ingredients: Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt before adding to the batter. This will help ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed and prevent lumps.
