Tips:
- For the perfect pancake batter, use a combination of all-purpose flour and semolina flour. This will give your pancakes a light and fluffy texture.
- Make sure your pancake batter is not too thick or too thin. The ideal consistency is slightly thicker than heavy cream.
- When cooking your pancakes, use a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. This will prevent them from sticking and burning.
- Cook your pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve your pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
