Recipe Tips

  • If the pancakes are cooking too fast, then I recommend lowering the heat on the stove. They should take a few minutes to cook on each side.
  • You can use oil instead of butter. However, I recommend only doing this if you're not a fan of butter, or you prefer to use cooking oil.
  • If you don’t like your pancakes being too sweet, then I recommend leaving the sugar out altogether. The sugars in the lemonade should be just enough to give you excellent tasting easy pancakes.
  • The pancake batter should be thick, but if it is a little too thick, then just add a little bit more lemonade to the mix.
  • I suggest using all of the pancake batter straight away as it will not last for very long. If you try to use it after a day or two, you will find that the pancakes won't rise very much.
  • Caster sugar is also known as superfine sugar or bakers sugar. You can also use granulated sugar instead. However, I recommend a fine sugar for the best results.
