Homestyle pancakes that are fluffy and flavorful!

This simple yet delicious pancake is fantastic with just excellent quality syrup, but if you want to elevate it, try the roasted strawberries. You will not be disappointed!

A little tip- To get the perfect pancakes, there is a simple technique. Do not overmix the batter, as it will create a soupy mess. Second, do not try to cook large servings of pancake but instead go for smaller ones. This will ensure an evenly cooked golden crust and fluffy inside.

 

Ok, let’s get started!
