Tips!
- Don’t over mix the pancake batter. Everything should be combined with no dry flour, but stop mixing once the flour has disappeared. If you carry on mixing, they won’t be nice and fluffy.
- The pancake batter can be prepared the night before and kept covered in the fridge.
- Adjust the temperature of your skillet when cooking the pancakes. If it’s too hot they will burn, and not hot enough an they will spread.
These are of course perfect for any time of the year, but they are ideal for a Valentine’s Day breakfast. Serve up with some fresh sliced strawberries!
