- ✓Let batter rest for 5-10 minutes after mixing so flour fully hydrates and gluten relaxes, resulting in 30% more tender pancakes.timing5-10 minutes
- ✓Use milk at room temperature or slightly warm (70-80°F) because cold milk can cause butter to solidify into lumps and create uneven texture.ingredient70-80°F
