💡Tips
1. Experiment with Flavors
While these pancakes are delicious as is, don’t be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You could add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a classic pancake flavor, or try adding some cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spicy note.
For a savory version, you could omit the sweetener and add some herbs like chives or basil, and a bit of grated Parmesan cheese.
If you want to add berries, be sure to use them sparingly to keep the carb count low, and add them directly to the pancakes in the pan rather than mixing them into the batter.
2. Control Cooking Temperature
If your pan is too hot, the outsides will burn before the insides are cooked. Too cool, and your pancakes will take too long to cook and may end up dense. Start with medium heat and adjust as needed.
A good way to test if your pan is ready is to sprinkle a few drops of water on it. If the water sizzles and evaporates quickly, your pan is at the right temperature. Keep in mind that your pan will continue to heat up as you cook, so you may need to lower the heat slightly after the first batch.
