- Flour — Sift the flour before measuring to ensure a lighter batter.
- Eggs — Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation into the batter.
- Milk — Use whole milk for a richer flavor and texture.
- Nutmeg — Freshly grated nutmeg will provide the best flavor.
- Butter — Melt the butter and let it cool slightly before adding it to the batter.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried herbs like thyme or parsley to the batter.
- Experiment with different toppings such as grated cheese, bacon, or sautéed mushrooms.
- Make sure the skillet or griddle is evenly heated to prevent uneven cooking of the pancakes.
