"The mix is then combined with liquid eggs, cold water, and buttermilk - the buttermilk in particular is key, as this helps improve the taste and texture of the pancakes. Tips and tricks suggested in another thread include using fresh baking powder and making sure to let the pancake batter rest. When it comes to cooking the pancakes, former workers also recommend using a non-stick or well-greased griddle at a high temperature - and keeping an eye on the pancakes to make sure they don't overcook."
"Additional tips and tricks you can use to make your homemade pancakes closer to the ones you get at Denny's include weighing out your ingredients instead of measuring them by volume (for better accuracy), remembering to not overmix things and to leave some lumps in your pancake batter, and adding in other ingredients such as seltzer water or mayonnaise to get fluffier pancakes."
Restaurants use pre-packaged pancake mix combined with liquid eggs, cold water, and buttermilk to ensure consistency and improve taste and texture. Buttermilk contributes significantly to the pancakes' tenderness and flavor. Fresh baking powder, allowing batter to rest, and avoiding overmixing help create loft and tenderness. Cooking on a non-stick or well-greased griddle at high temperature while watching to prevent overcooking preserves fluffiness. Measuring by weight, leaving some lumps, and adding seltzer water or mayonnaise can further increase fluff. Specialty flavors and precise restaurant processes often produce pancakes that outshine typical homemade versions.
