When you think of pancakes, you think of golden brown color, and fluffy texture. Pancakes are supposed to fluffy, just like cake. That is part of what makes them so good. Fluffy and pancakes just go together.

Have you ever tried to make pancakes? Did they come out as fluffy as you would have hoped? Did they come out fluffy at all? Believe it or not, making fluffy pancakes isn’t exactly the easiest thing in the world to do.

When you end up with flat pancakes, there could be any number of reasons why. Most of the mistakes that cause flat pancakes aren’t something you could catch easily. You probably don’t even realize you are making them.

The first cause of flat pancakes is pretty basic. If you have ever baked before and know what you are doing, you should be able to catch this one. They could be flat because you forgot about the baking soda or baking powder.

All pancake recipes will require the addition of either baking powder or baking soda. These agents will make the pancakes rise, hence giving them their fluffiness. If you forget this ingredient or don’t put enough in, they will fall flat.

Another cause of flat pancakes that many people can miss is the actual mixing of the batter. If you mix it too much or beat it, the pancakes will become tough and dense when they are actually made.

If you want to get fluffy pancakes and avoid tough pancakes, be gentle when you combine the wet and dry ingredients. Don’t use an electric mixer, just use a wooden spoon and stir it all until combined.

Fluffy delicious pancakes are possible, as long as you know what you are doing and you pay attention. Be careful, be gentle, and hope for the best.
