Can
I mix my pancake batter the night before?
The answer is
“yes”—but your leavening might go flat before
morning. So here is what you do:
-
If your recipe calls for buttermilk and baking soda, wait till
morning to add the baking soda. When mixed, the acidic buttermilk
and alkaline baking soda react and create the bubbles that make
your pancakes light and fluffy. If you mix these pancakes the
night before, they will be flat by morning. We recommend that
you wait till morning to add the buttermilk and baking soda.
-
If your recipe calls for baking powder and it is double acting
as most baking powders are, your batter will still rise in the
morning since baking powder reacts with heat. It may not rise
enough and you may want to add another teaspoon of baking powder.
