Cooking Tips

Use a Small Oven-Safe Dish or Ramekin: Opt for a small oven-safe dish or ramekin to bake your single-serve pancake. This ensures even cooking and helps maintain the fluffy texture. Mine is a 650ml glass safe bowl and it works perfectly

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven before baking to ensure that it’s at the right temperature when you put your pancake in. This helps with consistent cooking and prevents the pancake from being undercooked.

Mix Batter Well: Thoroughly mix your pancake batter to ensure that all ingredients are evenly incorporated. This helps achieve a uniform texture and consistency in the finished pancake.

Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on your pancake while it’s baking to prevent overcooking. Baking times may vary depending on your oven and the size of your pancake, so it’s essential to check for doneness periodically.

Pancake may seem undercooked in the middle: Do not overcook, it may look underdone in the middle but as the pancakes cool and set, it will continue to cook the middle. Avoid overbaking as it can result in a dry texture.

Let it Cool: Allow your baked pancake to cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps it set and makes it easier to handle. Plus, it prevents you from burning your mouth on piping hot pancake straight from the oven.
