Tips:
- Make sure not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay and will help keep the hotcakes light and fluffy.
- Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes before cooking to ensure even fluffiness.
- Use a non-stick skillet or a griddle for best results, and lightly grease it with oil or butter before cooking each batch of hotcakes.
- Cook the hotcakes over medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
- Wait for bubbles to form on the surface of the hotcakes before flipping them to ensure they are fully cooked on one side.
- Serve hotcakes immediately for the best texture and taste, or keep them warm in a low oven if making multiple batches.
Enjoy your perfectly fluffy American hotcakes with your choice of toppings, whether it’s a drizzle of maple syrup, a pat of butter, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar. These hotcakes are sure to become a favorite in your breakfast repertoire. Happy cooking!
