Pancakes With Watermelon Jam FAQs
Do I need to use a non-stick skillet to make these pancakes?
No, you don't need to use a non-stick skillet, but I find that it helps the pancakes cook more evenly and prevents them from sticking.
My pancake batter is too thick. What did I do wrong?
If your pancake batter is too thick, it's likely because you added too much flour. Try adding a little bit of non-dairy milk to the batter and whisking until the desired consistency is reached.
