Tips and Tricks

Make sure to mix the batter well and let it rise for an hour before cooking to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
Use a non-stick skillet and brush it with oil to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
You can add herbs and spices to the batter, such as cumin, coriander, or paprika, to add extra flavor.
Serve the pancakes warm for the best taste and texture.
