- ✓Heat your pan to exactly 375°F (a drop of water should sizzle and evaporate in 2-3 seconds) because protein pancakes burn faster than regular pancakes due to higher protein content creating more Maillard reactions.equipment375°F
- ✓Let protein pancake batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking so protein powders fully hydrate and prevent gritty texture from undissolved particles.timing5 minutes
- ✓Add 1-2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to protein pancake batter because the extra moisture compensates for protein powder's tendency to absorb liquid and create dry pancakes.ingredient1-2 tablespoons
