Tips and tricks for your Make Ahead Pancake Recipe for Camping…
How do you make the pancakes fluffy?
Now, if you want really fluffy pancakes – mix your wet ingredients separately and give them a good whisking. The air pockets in the egg help make the pancakes fluffy. Also, be careful not to over mix when combining with the dry ingredients. You want to mix until wet and that’s it.
Want to keep it as simple as possible? I love that!
If you don’t care about fluffy and are just going for easy and delicious, then just mix it all up right in the zip tight bag! The pancakes will be a little on the flat side, but just as tasty.
Want thicker batter for more control in the griddle?…
You’ll want to play around with the amount of water you add. The full 1 cup makes a pretty thin batter. For a thick batter, add less water.
