These pancakes, or griddlecakes if you will, are the bomb and the only recipe I will use. Do give it a try...if you like a pancake that has lots of body then you won't be dissapointed.

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Tips:

  • Before starting, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This helps them combine more evenly and creates a smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • To prevent the pancakes from sticking to the griddle, grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray before pouring the batter.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This allows them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often can make them tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.
