- Keep the flour, liquid, and leavening amounts in the stated proportions. Use the pan size and doneness cues in the card rather than relying on time alone.
- When scaling the recipe, increase ingredients together but keep the same doneness checks. A larger batch does not necessarily cook in the same time.
Serving suggestions
Serve the pancakes after cooking the batch. Fruit, syrup, yogurt, or spreads are additions unless they appear in the measured ingredient list.
