Sometimes you read about these hacks on the internet, and while some part of you desperately wants to believe they’re real, there’s another part of you that is certain that it’s all a fabrication and will never work.

My mom made a batch of pancakes for us nearly every Sunday when I was growing up. She used a box mix when she made hers, but I love the tradition so much that I continue it with my own children now. If you estimate that I’ve been making pancakes once a week since my almost 6-year-old started solids, then I’ve made 286 batches of pancakes in the last five years alone. There’s a lot to be learned from that kind of repetition. Here are my seven best tips for perfect pancakes every time.
