Why aren't my Bisquick pancakes turning out fluffy enough?

[Idris]

They always seem a bit flat. Am I missing a trick? Maybe it's the mixing or the heat? Any pancake gurus out there who can share their secrets for achieving that perfect fluffy stack?

Flat pancakes are the worst. I think it might be the mixing. I've read that overmixing can deflate the batter and make the pancakes dense. I'm going to try mixing just until the lumps are mostly gone and see if that helps.

One possible reason for that is the batter. If the batter is too thin, the pancakes will spread too much and become flat. Try adding a little more Bisquick to thicken it.

Oh no, pancake trouble! For fluffier Bisquick pancakes, try these tips: make sure your batter is a bit lumpy (don’t overmix!), let it rest for a few minutes before cooking, and check your baking powder's freshness. Also, cook on medium heat—too high and they might burn before fluffing up! Hope this helps!
