As a way to honor this classic breakfast dish, we decided we\u2019d start answering the most common question out there, for all of our fellow pancake lovers. We found that one of the most pressing questions about the humble flapjack was, how to make pancake batter thicker?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many of us picture the perfect pancake to be thick and fluffy, achieving this takes a level of precision. Cooking pancakes doesn&#8217;t have to be complicated, but they do require attention to detail in order to produce the perfect round cake each time. Unsure how to do it? No worries, we\u2019ve got you covered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Tips on How To Make Pancake Batter Thicker<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common reasons pancake batter needs to be thickened is due to an uneven ratio of dry and wet ingredients. A runny batter usually indicates that there are more wet ingredients than there are dry, which tend to produce thinner pancakes. In order to create pancakes with just the right amount of breadth, the batter will need to be thicker. The thicker the batter, the thicker the pancake. However, when making modifications to your batter, it\u2019s best to incrementally add the ingredients to yield the best results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the event you find yourself dealing with runny pancake batter, don\u2019t stress because you can still turn things around. Here are two ways you can thicken your batter:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Flour \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest way to thicken pancake batter is to add flour. Using a tablespoon, and a sifter, carefully add 1 tbsp of flour at a time, gently stirring the batter. This will help to thicken the mix, and get you a lot closer to those fluffy pancakes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Eggs \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second option is to use eggs to thicken your batter to its desired consistency. While eggs are a viable thickening agent, it\u2019s important to use this ingredient minimally as you don\u2019t want to end up with an eggy pancake.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>How Thick Should Pancake Mix Be?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-406\" src=\"https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Creating-a-Thick-Pancake-Mix.png\" alt=\"Creating a Thick Pancake Mix\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Creating-a-Thick-Pancake-Mix.png 1500w, https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Creating-a-Thick-Pancake-Mix-300x280.png 300w, https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Creating-a-Thick-Pancake-Mix-1024x956.png 1024w, https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Creating-a-Thick-Pancake-Mix-768x717.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to measure the ideal thickness of the mix is to see how easy it pours. Without being runny, the batter should still pour onto the pan with ease. What you don\u2019t want happening is mixing a batter so thick, that it pours slowly like honey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to mixing the wet and dry ingredients of the pancake batter, this is where a little bit of magic is needed. Preferably using a wired whisk, the batter should be mixed until all the ingredients have combined. The mix doesn\u2019t need to be completely smooth, as having a few lumps is okay. <\/span><b>The trick here is not to overmix the batter. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overmixing the pancake batter will cause the gluten in the flour to overdevelop, resulting in a gummy set of pancakes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Creating a Thick Pancake Mix<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to ensure you make fluffy, golden pancakes every time is to use fresh ingredients. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Baking+powder&amp;ref=nb_sb_noss\" data-lasso-id=\"1619\">Baking powder<\/a> is the secret ingredient that will give your pancakes its bed of fluffiness. While it\u2019s still okay to use baking powder that\u2019s already been opened, it\u2019s recommended to use a freshly opened can to best activate the ingredient. This way, the baking powder will be better fitted to work it\u2019s magic in the batter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next thing that will help create a thick pancake mix, is to mix all of the dry ingredients separately with a wired whisk. Using this utensil to combine the dry ingredients, will naturally prevent lumps from forming once the dry and wet ingredients mix together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Make the Same Pancake Mix Every Time\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So now that you know how to make your pancake batter thicker, you\u2019re ready to make their debut at the next brunch. However, before you do that, it\u2019s important that you remember all the small steps it took to make that perfect batch. How you cook pancakes one time may differ from the next, but when you get it right, it\u2019s absolutely vital to record it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s where we come in.
