Started making pancakes and in the middle just realized I only have bread flour. Not sure what to do now. Is it going to be a problem? Ruined pancakes?
Yay! So sometime when you get a chance, taste some gluten, it is in bagels and pizza dough, sometimes in pretzels (added gluten), see if that is the flavor you like. I'm a fan of it.
Will I see some in the mail then? (joke)
I've always mixed the batter, then cooked with it right away even though I've read that letting it sit a while improves the end result. This last time I made them, I finally remembered to let them rest. If you wait just a little while (maybe about a half hour), the lumpy parts absorb liquid. No powdery residue trapped inside any pancake and, better yet, the very last pancakes were almost as fluffy as the first. Normally, the last pan of cakes from the batter are pretty flat ones.Not a lot you can do wrong with pancakes...and this is important... Don't over mix the batter!!!! The batter will be lumpy...
