double chocolate maca pancakes

There is nothing better then having pancakes for breakfast in the morning. In instagram (http://instagram.com/thesaltypanther) I told you about the secret ingredient I am using to get thicker pancakes. Well, the answer is super easy. It's baking powder. Normally I used 3/4 - 1 sachet of baking powder, but this time I thought 'what is gonna happen when I use more?'. The answer is: You get thicker pancakes! :)
So try it out. Try to use a little more then you normally do and look how they turn out. If there is no difference, add more baking powder the next time until they get really thick and fluffy. Happy thursday everyone!
