Thank you for writing and posting this wonderful article! I have preached against over mixing pancakes for years! Everyone thinks pancakes are easy, which I believe is part of the problem. Some young cooks believe that if they can make brownies, which they believe to be more complex than pancakes, pancakes should be a breeze. Not so, unless one wants pancakes with the same texture as a brownie! Fewer ingredients does not mean a recipe or method is simple, it simply means one must use more finesse and skill with that simple recipe, or face failure. I am a recent convert to King Arthur Flour, which was recommended to me by one of my dearest friends. I have been a dedicated and prizewinning baker for over fifty years, and I believe King Arthur Flour to provide the most consistently milled, delicious and best products it has ever been my pleasure to work with. Thank you, King Arthur Flour, for being the best, and caring about your customers!
