A commenter on a recipe post made me rethink my pancake technique
I was scrolling through a video of someone making pancakes, and the comments were all about how flat theirs come out. One person said they had been a short-order cook for 15 years and swore by letting the batter rest for 10 minutes before cooking. I tried it last Sunday morning, and my pancakes actually came out fluffy for the first time. Has anyone else had success with a simple trick like this that goes against what the recipe says?

Yeah that comment about resting the batter caught my eye too. I got a buddy who used to work at a diner and he told me the same thing, said it lets the gluten relax or something like that. He always lets his pancake batter sit while he gets the bacon going, swears by it. I tried it myself after he told me and yeah, my pancakes came out way better than before.

No kidding? I always skip the resting step because I'm in a rush, but now I gotta try that this weekend.
