Do you use a blender to mix pancake mix?!
Answers:
Never, that type of ridig/explosive, rough agitation activates too much gluten naturally present in the flour and results in tough and inconsistent pancake texture!.
With pancakes, quick breads and the like, you only need mix till BARELY incorporated, even some "unmixed" batter is ideal!.!.!.!.!.
That way, when the liquid ingredients hit the dry ingredients, and all come together on the hot surface of the pancake griddle (skillet, whatever) will insure light, delicate pancakes!. I also sub out the milk for yogurt or sour cream, and melted butter for the shortening called for in the ingredient list!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Enjoy, and hope this helps!.!.!.!.!.

Lol no Mark, just mix it by hand-simple- If you ise the blender it will over mix the batter and hence, very slim pancakes!.Just make sure you don't leave it lumpy when mixing!. Happy eating!Www@FoodAQ@Com
No - just a whisk!. You only want to mix to incorporate all the ingredients!. Over mixing it will result in thin pancakes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Pancake batter is best when all ingredients are just blended, so by hand would be the best way!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No you will have tough pancakes that way!. Pancake batter should be just barely stirred enough so there are no lumps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No!.!.!.if I'm making a large batch I'll use a hand mixer, but otherwise, just a spactula and elbow grease!Www@FoodAQ@Com
No I use a fork or whisk!. It's not a thick batter that takes a lot of muscle to mix!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
