- ✓Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes after mixing to allow protein powder to fully hydrate and prevent gritty texture from undissolved particles.timing2-3 minutes
- ✓Use a 1:1 ratio of liquid to protein powder by weight (not volume) because protein powder is much denser than flour and needs proper hydration for binding.ingredient1:1 ratio by weight
