How do I make my pancakes fluffy?

Make sure you get the proportions right on your ingredients for fluffy pancakes. Make sure you measure out your dry ingredients, so you have the right amount of everything. 

Why are my pancakes flat?

You can get flat pancakes if you don’t put the right amount of baking powder or baking soda. Make sure you measure these ingredients out correctly and follow the directions of the recipe. You can also make sure your ingredients are fresh and not expired.
