recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like waking up to the smell of homemade pancakes on a slow weekend morning. This recipe is a family favorite because it uses simple pantry staples to create a breakfast that feels like a special treat every single time.
My top tip for the best texture is to avoid overmixing the batter. Just stir until the dry ingredients are barely moistened, and do not worry if a few lumps remain in the bowl.
