Notes
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must use whey protein with this recipe. It will NOT work with any other kind, especially plant-based, because the mixture will be too thick.
If you want your pancakes to be extra fluffy, try covering the pan while they're cooking! Also, make sure not to overmix the batter, and let it rest for 5 minutes before adding to the pan.
