Leave Your Pancake Batter Lumpy

[@RavenBlaze]

That is what they taught us at IHOP. And you would think IHOP knows a thing or 2 about pancakes.

[@JustAThought155]

WOW!!!😯! I wasn’t craving pancakes until I saw this stack!😋!!!

[@JulieBetterman]

That flip showing the air pockets 🤤🤩

[@silentlou4375]

I ignored this recommendation for years, until recently… and wow what a difference it makes.

[@erikn.7540]

and now I want pancakes. Harumph

[@kylieshaye6562]

I love lumps

[@tyortiz2151]

Flat or Fluff 😋 … I’ll take Fluff 🥞

[@braddavis8822]

This is a really good recipe. I haven't accepted that old box mix I was using since trying..

[@claramckenzie9140]

All quickbreads batter and dough should be left lumpy; especially cornbread. No one should have to eat a flat cornbread.

[@thequantaleaper]

This was a game-changer for my biscuits. The more mixing, the more dense they get.

[@ChaosAlpha]

Damnnnnnnnm. Pure genius.

[@dianedarling9639]

I have always done this

[@chrisharrison5126]

Thanks Erica I'll give this tip a try

[@Aspirate69]

Wow great tips! Thanks!

[@lastgameplay]

WOW THANKS

[@hailynewma9122]

love to hear that. saves a lot of nerves

[@ayahiraya]

Thank you for this! I did not have a visual reference of how lumpy the batter should be and always ended up with flat pancakes. 😓

[@sandrastitt527]

YUMMMMMMMMM❤

[@JollyRogerLaw]

you'd think it's because overmixing pops all the air pockets.

[@TheEricBooth]

I've been doing it wrong for 40 years. Dammit.

[@Whowhatwherewhy]

Add a splash of lemon juice.

Adding an acid to quick breads really makes them rise. I’ve even used a tsp of vinegar added to a boxed biscuit mix and got a good rise. Most successful has been using 1/2 buttermilk for the liquid. Super fluffy results for pancakes and biscuits.

[@kahwana1604]

​@@donnacreamer4123 That was my question and you nailed it. I want to use buttermilk, because it makes biscuits & cakes tender. Using buttermilk would eliminate vinegar unless you are changing milk to a buttermilk. Nothing like real buttermilk though. ❤️

[@MR-vj8dn]

Thanks for sharing. But I really don’t like tall pancakes 😅 I like them really thin and much bigger in diameter.

[@emmaharrison1399]

I can’t stand pancakes, flat or fluffy. I’ve said this so many times on the internet that I believe when I go to hell, where I’m destined, that will be my menu for eternity.

[@Johonnac]

What about waffles??

@@Johonnac They're better. Just okay.

Yanks could learn a thing or two from europeans when it comes to pancakes.

[@SaidAlSeveres]

It makes so much sense but I don’t Science so I never would have considered all those facts. In summary lumpy batter = light pancakes 💡

[@Sandyyyyyyyyyy]

For the life of me I can't make lumpy batter. I add a lot of baking powder and use a blini pan and I get super tall small pancakes. Even using a griddle my pancakes come out as tall as these. One day I'll master the lumpy batter but until then baking powder is my friend

[@evelgreytarot8401]

How does that not taste gross. Adding a lot of baking powder makes it taste like soap

[@Sandyyyyyyyyyy]

@@evelgreytarot8401 umm no? I'm wondering how much baking powder you think I'm adding. I make maybe 80-100 3-inch pancakes and use a little more than 1/3 cup of baking powder. It's a good recipe, whenever someone new tries it they inevitably ask for the recipe.

[@veralapsa]

Personally I don't like pancakes that are that thick. I mix in a little brown sugar and cinnamon and 1 egg, water till the batter streams off of a fork but still has enough surface tension to cling between the fork tines. I cook on a lightly oiled stove top cast iron griddle over medium heat. Flip when the bubbles stop closing back up or browning is visible around the edge. Take off when that side is brown. This produces a pancake that has lots of tube like structures in it that holds onto butter and syrup when they soak into the pancake.

[@shisley4]

[@Pastadudde]

I figured this out all on my own from experimenting making pancakes so I approve this video. Very well explained.
