❓ Q&A
Q1: Why are my pancakes not spreading thin?
👉 Your batter may be too thick. Add a little more milk to thin it out.
Q2: Why do I get bubbles like in the picture?
👉 That’s normal! Heat causes air pockets—perfect for texture.
Q3: Can I make it without eggs?
👉 Yes. Substitute each egg with ¼ cup milk + 1 tbsp oil or use mashed banana.
Q4: Why are my pancakes sticking?
👉 Your pan may not be hot enough or lacks oil/butter.

👉 Absolutely! Skip sugar and add herbs, cheese, or cooked vegetables.
Q6: How do I store leftovers?
👉 Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave.
