I don't have much food at home and I'm really hungry, I can't go to the shops at the moment to buy anything. It also means that if you don’t have a sufficiently big enough appetite to eat 12 pancakes or more in one go, you can spread your pancake feast out over a few days. I'm trying to make pancake batter but it's come out really lumpy. Mix your batter … Once you have a liquid batter, but still see plenty of lumps, you've mixed enough; that doesn't mean you want your pancakes to have pockets of dry flour in them. After you mix the pancake batter, let it sit for a while. Okay, so maybe I was just being an angsty teen and wanted to break some baking rules, but on the real, you should probably listen to what all of those chefs have been feeding your brain for years (pun intended). https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/21014/good-old-fashioned-pancakes I have no idea how to fix it! Help! This is also my last egg so I can't start again. Either in the fridge or on the counter is fine. Please! But, with what I am about to tell you, you’ll be able to whisk up a pancake batter mix whenever you have some spare time and keep it for weeks or even months, for when you need it. Let the batter rest. The more you stir, the more protein develops and the tougher and chewier your pancakes will be. Mix away, you little biscuit baker, you. It allows the proteins to relax, making for pillowy-soft … Don’t overmix the batter. Nope. Once you've mixed up your batter, let it sit for 15 minutes.
