When making pancakes, you don't need a blender or food processor at all.

You can mix the dough using a regular spoon or fork.

However, not all housewives manage to make the pancake base uniform, limiting themselves to using the above-mentioned cutlery.

There may be a lot of lumps left in the dough. However, they can be easily broken up. And no utensils are needed.

Use a sieve

If the pancake batter is too uneven, you can strain it.

The lumps will remain on the sieve. As a result, the pancake base will acquire the ideal consistency.

Just wait

If you can’t break up the lumps and you don’t have a sieve at hand, you just need to leave the dough “alone” for about a quarter of an hour.

After this, you need to try again to make the pancake base homogeneous. In most cases, the "rested" dough gets rid of lumps easier and faster.

Prevent lumps from forming

You don't have to bother with poorly mixed flour at all. The bulk product will be evenly distributed in the pancake base if you add the ingredients in the right order.

Usually flour is poured into the egg-milk mixture. But it should be the other way around: pour the liquid part of the dough into the flour part.
