Notes

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips

• Flour: Measure by spooning into your measuring cup to avoid excess.
• Baking Powder: Replace every 6-12 months for fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes.
• Cake Mix: Opt for Duncan Hines yellow cake mix for the perfect blend.
• Milk: For optimal results, choose whole milk or buttermilk.
• Sprinkles: Enhance the vibrancy with rainbow sprinkles, avoiding nonpareils that may release excessive color into the batter.

Tips

• Don’t overmix: Achieve perfection by mixing until the flour just disappears to avoid tough and rubbery pancakes.
• Batter consistency: Embrace a slightly lumpy batter for the ideal pancake texture.
• Resting time: Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes, promoting tenderness and height in your pancakes.
• Uniform pancakes: Utilize a cookie scoop to maintain consistent pancake sizes.
• Flipping technique: Flip pancakes once bubbles form in the batter, with caution as the second side cooks more quickly.
• Keeping warm: Maintain the warmth of your pancakes in an oven at 250 degrees F while completing the remaining batter.
