# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These little pancakes cook fast and stay tender, so you can feed a crowd without standing at the stove forever.
  • Kids love stacking them, adults love eating them, and everyone gets their own perfect tower with crispy edges and fluffy centers.
02 -
  • Resist the urge to press down on the pancakes with your spatula, it squeezes out all the air and leaves them flat and tough.
  • If your first batch cooks too fast or burns, lower the heat, these need gentle warmth to cook through without scorching the outside.
03 -
  • Use a measuring spoon or small scoop to keep the pancakes uniform in size, so they all cook at the same rate and stack neatly.
  • If the batter thickens as it sits, stir in a teaspoon or two of milk to loosen it back up and keep the pancakes tender.
