Do you know why pancake batter needs to rest?
You must have heard it many times, you always have to let your dough rest at room temperature for at least an hour to have good and pretty pancakes. During this time, the flour will absorb the liquid ingredients and the dough will thicken to become less elastic, spread better in the pan and make fluffier pancakes. Good to know: do not beat the dough too much. The more it is mixed, the longer you will have to let it sit.
