Tips
Use a nonstick skillet to prevent sticking without requiring excessive oil.
Keep the oven at 60°C to maintain cooked pancakes at serving temperature without overcooking.
Pancakes will release from the pan when the undersides are fully set; do not flip too early to avoid breaking.
Good to Know
Keep refrigerated up to 2 days; reheat gently on stovetop or in low oven.
Prepare batter up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate; cook pancakes fresh before serving.
Serve warm topped with fresh kiwi and mint while the honey is still drizzleable.
Common Mistakes
Do not flip pancakes before the undersides are fully cooked and release easily to avoid a raw or gummy center.
Do not overmix the batter once dry ingredients are added to prevent dense pancakes.
Do not use high heat; reduce to medium or low to prevent burnt exteriors with underdone interiors.
