Chocolate Pancakes With Strawberry Syrup Recipe
Can Pancake Batter Be Made Ahead of Time?
You can make pancake batter the night before.
Store it in the refrigerator in a container with a lid.
Baking powder may lose some of its potency overnight, so you may want to sprinkle in a little more before cooking.
Remove the batter from the refrigerator and let it warm up a little.
Add a little baking powder and gently stir.
What Makes Pancakes Flat?
Flat pancakes are caused by overcooking and improper preparation of the batter.
Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are not too old, or that you do not use too much as that will make your pancakes rise and then fall while cooking.
Be sure that you use the correct amount of liquid.
Too thin of batter will make flat pancakes.
Do not over mix!
The flour should just be incorporated into the batter, leaving a few little lumps.
How Long Will Berry Syrup Keep?

Syrup can be frozen for up to 6 months.
