Ingredient prep checklist
- Sugar: 1½ Tbsp sugar ((or more, to taste))
Read the blog post carefully for tips before starting—timing and temperature are critical. Use a 11–12-inch (28–30 cm) nonstick frying pan with lid or an electric nonstick griddle with lid to cook 3 pancakes at once. It‘s also helpful to have an infrared thermometer gun to check the temperature of the pan. Cook one batch of batter at a time, or the batter will deflate if it sits too long. Use multiple nonstick frying pans or a griddle if you double or triple the recipe. Gather all the ingredients. Use a kitchen scale for accuracy (switch to Metric above) or learn how to measure flour with a measuring cup.
