You can substitute all or half of the flour in any baking recipe with bread flour, but don’t over-mix when it comes to cake or pancake batter or you’ll have springy results.
Consequently, do you whisk pancake batter?

A bit of work, but will make your pancakes fluffy & soufflé-like! Add the egg yolks to the wet ingredients and once it’s combined with the dry ingredients let it rest without the egg whites. Right before cooking, fold in the egg white peaks into the batter, it’s like folding in clouds!

If you’re looking for how to make pancake mix better, the easiest option is to sprinkle in your favorite baking spices. Once you’ve mixed the batter, add in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger or pumpkin pie spice mix. Before serving, top your pancakes with a bit of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
What does baking powder do to pancakes?
Baking powder and baking soda are both leavens, and they’re what create the bubbles you see in pancake batter. Both ingredients work to make pancakes light, fluffy, and perfectly brown. Most of the rise comes from baking powder, which is double-acting. Instead of one rise, you get two from the single ingredient.

Why are my American pancakes not fluffy?
Stir your batter until the dry and wet ingredients are just incorporated. That means mixing until the flour streaks have disappeared, but leaving the pesky lumps. If you over-mix, the gluten will develop from the flour in your batter, making your pancakes chewy instead of fluffy.

Too much baking powder will create a very puffy pancake with a chalky taste, while too little will make it flat and limp. Baking soda rises only once when exposed to an acid (like buttermilk, sour cream, or yogurt). Baking soda also controls the browning of the batter in the pan.
