Even if the pancakes seem fluffy and appetizing while being cooked in a frying pan, this is not a reason for premature joy: the dish may lose its fluffy shape when served.

Therefore, it is worth knowing what mistakes contribute to an unfavorable outcome.

What mistakes should housewives remember?

Using cold components

The dough for making pancakes is quite demanding in terms of the temperature of the ingredients. If some of them are cold, you can forget about the fluffy shape.

Therefore, it is worth at least bringing the components to room temperature. Some housewives even warm up the kefir when working with the dough.

Excess flour and sugar

If the pancakes lack the characteristic liquid consistency, they may not rise at all. This can happen if the housewife adds too much flour. The product, moreover, will not taste good.

You should also be careful with sugar: as a rule, no more than two tablespoons of the product are added to the recipe.
