Did your batter taste fine before you cooked them?

>my pancakes taste metallic

You have a questionable ingredient somewhere. Shitty brand of ground cinnamon? Baking powder too old?

>>and not sweet at all.
IMHO, pancakes themselves shouldn't be terribly sweet. You get the sweetness from the topping you have with them (syrup, fruit preserves, etc.) But if you want them sweeter just add more sugar.

More sugar, less baking powder

this, too much baking powder will give them a weird taste

that's what im thinking but the cinnamon still tastes fine and the baking powder is in a sealed plastic bag. both were bought just before December.

if something is causing my cinnamon/baking powder to have a metallic taste, then shitty pancakes is the least of my concerns really.

anon what the fuck are you doing?

>>8435009
I can see the cinnamon, but why would you put baking powder in pancakes? I just noticed there's no yeast in the recipe either.

>ould you put baking powder in pancakes?

So they rise up and get a fluffy texture.

>>I just noticed there's no yeast in the recipe
either.

Of course there isn't. It's not a dough you let rise, it's a batter that's pan-fried.

pancakes don't typically have yeast. they do generally have baking powder and sometimes baking soda.

Why are you eating this american shit when you can have superior soviet pencakes?

>>8435960
.. What's the difference? Having to stand in line for your ration of communist flour?

>>8435983
Careful, herr drumpf likes russia, son.

>>8435983
It does taste different and better.

Add some white chocolate in between the layers.

it's magical.

OP here.

i'm trying to keep as much sugar out of my pancakes as possible since it's winter and im not very active.

are russian pancakes sugar/fat packed?

they seem delicious, almost like a thicker buttermilk pancake.

i think german pancake/dutch baby looks the coolest though.

Buy baking powder without aluminum sulfate in it.
