Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don’t have buttermilk?
You can make your own buttermilk easily! For 1 cup of buttermilk, all you have to do is mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice, and allow to sour for 5 minutes. You will know it’s ready when the milk has thickened and is slightly curdled.
How do I flip a pancake perfectly?
If you are not a seasoned home chef, the initial flip may be a little daunting. Often, you will end up with a perfect mess instead of a perfect round pancake. Firstly, ensure that the pan you are using is a non-stick pan or griddle. To make the flipping process even smoother, oil up your pan. Also, timing is of most essential in flipping. You have to make sure that you see bubbles all over the batter before you make the flip. Finally, slide the spatula under the pancake and flip the pancake with a quick 180 degree turn of your wrist. Basically, you can’t hesitate. Any slight hesitation will mess up the perfectly round circle you are aiming for.
