Cook Notes
Mixing Tip: Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough pancakes. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
Heat Control: Medium heat is key to cooking these pancakes evenly without burning them. Adjust the heat as needed.
Butter Substitute: You can use vegetable oil instead of butter for a slightly different flavor and texture.
Variations
1. Chocolate Chip Mexican Pancakes
Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet twist that kids and adults alike will love.
2. Citrus Mexican Pancakes
Add the zest of one orange or lemon to the batter for a fresh, citrusy flavor that pairs well with honey or berries.
3. Banana Cinnamon Pancakes
Fold in 1 mashed ripe banana and increase the cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons for a warm and comforting banana flavor.

Fresh Fruit: Serve with sliced strawberries, blueberries, or bananas for added freshness.
