Tips From the TNF Kitchen
- Don't over-whisk — lumps are fine and give fluffier pancakes.
- Medium-low heat — protein batters scorch faster than wheat.
- Adding the egg is what separates 'okay' pancakes from 'great' pancakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these without the egg?
Yes — just-add-water on the PEScience mix package. Egg adds fluffiness.
Why PEScience Pancake Mix specifically?
PEScience uses their TruProtein whey-casein blend, which cooks like real pancake batter.
Can I make these as waffles?
Yes — same recipe, drop in a waffle iron. Use cooking spray generously.
