FAQs

1. How do I make my pancakes fluffier?

To make your pancakes fluffier, ensure you don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing can cause the pancakes to be dense. Also, using Greek yogurt adds a nice fluffiness.

2. Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, frozen blueberries work just as well as fresh. Just fold them into the batter gently to prevent them from bursting.

3. Can I substitute the all-purpose flour?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour, but this may affect the texture and flavor.

4. Can I use non-dairy yogurt?

Absolutely! You can use any non-dairy yogurt, like almond, coconut, or soy yogurt, for a dairy-free version.

5. How can I make the pancakes sweeter?

If you prefer sweeter pancakes, you can add a bit of honey or maple syrup into the batter or sprinkle a little sugar over the pancakes when serving.

6. Can I freeze the pancakes?

Yes, you can freeze the pancakes. Let them cool, then stack them with parchment paper in between and store them in a freezer bag for up to 1 month.

7. How do I prevent the pancakes from sticking to the pan?

Make sure to use a non-stick skillet and lightly grease it with butter or oil before cooking the pancakes.

8. Can I make the pancake batter ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 12 hours before cooking.

9. What’s the best way to serve these pancakes?

These pancakes are delicious on their own, but they’re even better topped with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dollop of whipped cream.

10. How do I know when the pancakes are done?

The pancakes are done when bubbles form on top of the batter, and the edges start to look set. After flipping, they should be golden brown.
