Can I substitute the self-raising flour?

Yes, you can substitute self-raising flour with all-purpose flour combined with 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder per tablespoon of flour. Make sure to mix it well to achieve the same fluffiness.

How do I know when the pancakes are done?

The pancakes are done when they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Look for bubbles on the surface and set edges before flipping.

What is the best way to store leftover pancakes?

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a microwave or skillet before serving.
