Be sure to remove your eggs from the refrigerator ahead of time. Allow them to reach room temperature before cooking. If you haven’t got the time to do this, place your eggs in a bowl or warm water for just a few minutes prior to use. This should help warm them up from your cold fridge temperature. We do this because room temperature egg whites whip much more easily than cold ones!

Be careful when cracking your eggs. You don’t want any yolk getting into your egg white. Your whites will refuse to whip if there’s even a trace of yolk in the whites! On the other hand, a little egg white mixed into the yolk is just fine.

You can enjoy pancakes while they’re hot off the pan, or if they’ve cooled down. Generally, pancakes with sweeter toppings (like fruit or ice cream) are served cooler, while more savory toppings or maple syrup will typically be served warm or hot.

A teaspoon of vanilla extract goes a long way to boost the flavor of your pancakes.

You can include cinnamon powder, too! A half teaspoon of cinnamon powder added to your dry ingredients will be very subtly tasty in your pancake mix.
