Did you know the world's largest pancake weighed more than an average-sized hippo? Measuring over 49 feet and weighing 6614 pounds, the world's biggest pancake was made in Manchester, England. In case you were curious, to be eligible for consideration, you had to be able to flip the pancake. 

Pancakes have been around since before the dawn of time. The first pancakes were called Alita Dolcia – Latin for "another sweet" – and were made by Romans in the 1st Century AD. 

Ever since then, almost every American has flipped a pancake at least once in their life. If you haven't, you're going to want to by the end of this blog.

Five Reasons Why We Love Pancakes 

We probably don't need to tell you why you love pancakes, but it's fun to know anyway. Here are five reasons why we can't get enough of the fluffy, tasty treat. 

1. You Can Top Them With Anything

Syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, Nutella, banana, lemon, sugar, ice cream... bacon? You want it? You top it! 

2. It Cooks in Less Than a Minute 

Okay, that might be an exaggeration, but they're quicker to cook than most breakfast foods. 

3. It's Healthy (Kind Of)

It's healthy-ish. Whole-wheat pancakes contain fiber, which can help your blood sugar level. Plus, you will get around 3mg of iron.

So, yeah, they are healthy. 

4. You Can Eat It All-Day

Forget all that talk about eating pancakes for breakfast only. Eat it for lunch, dinner, midnight snack, 2 am snack – no one is going to judge you. 

5. And Eat It in So Many Different Ways

Roll 'em, stack 'em, fold 'em, or eat 'em straight out of the griddle. The only limit is your imagination. 

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Cooking Pancakes 

A breakfast that features pancakes is a breakfast worth eating. From a stack of thick and fluffy buttermilk pancakes to a nutritious, hearty stack of whole wheat pancakes – you can't go wrong with a plate of pancake goodness. 

The key to perfectly cooked pancakes comes down to technique. Here are some tips for getting your pancakes done right and how to avoid some common mistakes. 

Over-mixing the Batter

One of the most common mistakes the rookie pancake-connoisseur is guilty of is overmixing the pancake batter in an attempt to get rid of those pesky lumps of flour. It's not your fault, the perfectionist in you just can't resist. 

But, believe us when we say you want some lumps in your pancake batter! *Gasp*

We know. When mixing wet and dry ingredients, gluten starts to develop. The more you mix, the more the gluten develops. 

The result? Tough and chewy pancakes. Not ideal. 

Our tip? Mix the batter until the wet and the dry ingredients are combined. And those little floury lumps? Keep 'em. 

Not Resting the Batter

When you wake up, you're already starving, right? The thought of waiting an extra five to ten minutes for your batter to rest sounds like pure torture! 

But, it's worth it. Trust us. 

Resting your pancake mix offers two benefits. One, the activated gluten rests and relaxes.

Two, the starch molecules in the flour absorb the liquid in the batter. This gives it a thicker consistency and a fluffier texture. 

This is especially true for our buttermilk pancake products! Don’t believe us? Try it out and see how the fluffy pancakes nearly double in size!

Started Without a Hot-Enough Pan

The best pancake has a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. If your pancakes don't look like this, your pan or griddle might be too cold. Starting with a cold pan is a pancake no-no.

When the pan isn't hot enough, your pancakes won't form that crisp exterior. Instead, they'll soak up the butter or oil and become very greasy.

As a tip, let your pan heat up before adding the butter or oil. You don't want the butter or oil to splatter and burn. If you're unsure, make a test pancake – the first one is always a dud anyway! 

Setting the Heat Too High

Remember Goldilocks and the Three Bears?

Well, it's the same with pancakes. You want to cook them "just right". That means not having the pan or griddle too hot or too cold. 

A hot pan doesn't cook your pancakes quicker. It will burn them on the outside and leave them uncooked on the inside. Again, not ideal. 

The pan must be hot, but not too hot. For a well-cooked pancake with a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, keep the heat set the medium. And, don't touch it! 

Flipping Pancakes Too Soon and Too Often

We've all been guilty of this! You're hungry and they seem like they're taking forever to cook, so you flip it and hope for the best. 

If you can, try and give it another minute or so. Wait for the bubbles, then wait a touch longer. Then, flip! 

And you should only flip once. As long as you didn't flip them too early, there's no need to flip them again. Continuous flipping can deflate your pancakes and lose some of that delicious fluffy texture.
