Kitchen tip

Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

For sharing North America

Make it work and adapt it

A few small lumps are fine: overmixing makes pancakes tougher. Flip when bubbles remain on the surface and edges start to set.

Common questions

Can I replace baking powder with yeast?

Baking powder is not interchangeable with baker’s yeast. Cook a test pancake to adjust the heat; rapid browning means the pan is too hot.

Practical notes

Weigh the 10 g baking powder rather than relying on packet size. It cannot be replaced with bread yeast. Test the pan with one small pancake: lower the heat if it browns before bubbles appear. Flip once and do not press down. Four servings is the yield of the batch, not a promise of four individual pancakes.
