How to make the best fluffy pancakes ?
• Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
• In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently stir until just combined. Our trick: let the batter rest for a minute or two to activate the baking powder and ensure fluffy pancakes.
• Heat oil or butter in a skillet or griddle until hot. Drop two or three tablespoons of batter for each pancake, ensuring they don't spread out too much. Cook for about a minute until fluffy. Flip and cook the other side for another minute. And there you have it—perfect fluffy pancakes in no time!

What to serve with pancakes?
There are so many ways to enjoy pancakes and turn your breakfast into a feast! We always start by adding a knob of butter to our warm pancakes, which melts right away and adds a subtle nutty flavor. Then, you can choose from a variety of toppings:
• Maple syrup! Pancakes and maple syrup are a classic combo. These fluffy pancakes soak up the syrup, giving them a sweet touch.
• Fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
• Sliced bananas, or caramelized bananas for extra flavor.
• Chocolate chips—sprinkle them on top or add them to the batter while cooking for evenly spread chocolate goodness.
• Nut butter such as peanut butter, cashew butter, or almond butter for a nutritious and delicious addition.
• Nuts like pecans, slivered almonds, or walnuts for a crunchy texture.
You can also mix toppings directly into the batter—try blueberries, chocolate chips, pecans, or macadamia nuts. Add them once the pancakes are in the skillet to ensure they spread evenly and make your pancakes look beautiful!
