Frequently asked questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but do not thaw them first so they don't dye the entire batter blue.

When should I flip them?

When you see bubbles on the surface and the edges look set and dry.

Is syrup healthy?

Pure maple syrup is better than pancake syrup (corn-based), but it should be used in moderation.
