  • To avoid overmixing, pre-mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately before combining.
  • Allow the batter to rest for 10 to 15 minutes for proper hydration and bubble formation from the baking powder.
  • The "321 rule" refers to the ratios of flour and milk (3 cups), eggs and baking powder (2), and salt, sugar, and butter (1 stick).
