Notes

  • Once the liquid mixes with the flour, the baking powder and soda are immediately activated, which is what helps give the pancakes their fluff.  Use the back of a spoon to help spread the batter form into a circle if needed.
  • Keep unused syrup in the refrigerator and heat in the microwave or in a saucepan for reuse.
  • For sugar-free coconut syrup, replace the granulated sugar with your favorite sugar alternative like monk fruit.  Note that some sugar-free replacements can crystalize. Simply re-heat the coconut syrup to reuse.
