9 celebrity chefs reveal their secrets to making perfect pancakes

[Pancakes promo]Carla Hall & Gita Kulintich Studio/ Shutterstock The INSIDER Summary: INSIDER spoke with nine different celebrity chefs — from Food Network stars to James Beard award winners — about their perfect pancake-making methods. "The Chew's" Carla Hall warns about using too much oil in the pan. "Chopped's" Marc Murphy suggests adding yogurt for a tangy kick and fluffier texture. Pancakes are the great all-American breakfast staple, but even though it may be easier to work from a boxed mix, we suggest tossing the Bisquick and starting from scratch to make a more memorable meal. INSIDER spoke with nine celebrity chefs to discover how _they _make pancakes. From Carla Hall's simple method of using just a little bit of an oil spray on a non-stick griddle, to Damaris Phillips' genius tip for using carbonated water to make pancakes fluffier, we came up with the ultimate celebrity chef approved guide to flapjack finesse. Keep scrolling to get the best pancake tips and tricks.     NYESHA ARRINGTON — USE VANILLA EXTRACT Nyesha Arrington c/o Facebook "Whether creating a recipe from scratch or using a prepackaged mix, you can always make killer pancakes by adding good vanilla extract and a couple whipped egg whites," Arrington told INSIDER. "The batter really starts to come to life when you include melted butter or coconut oil and a pinch of sea salt!" RICK BAYLESS — ADD UNEXPECTED TOPPINGS LIKE SALSA Rick Bayless via Facebook "We created a cornmeal [pan]cake at Frontera Grill to celebrate an incredible, flinty heirloom cornmeal that had been raised by the Iroquois nation since time immemorial," Chef Bayless said. "I find a drizzle of agave syrup is a perfect compliment. Dollops of Greek yogurt, crumbled crispy bacon, and a spoonful of salsa would also be nice here, as would some crumbled hot-smoked salmon."   DAVID BURKE — THIN OUT BATTER WITH JUICE FOR EXTRA FLAVOR David Burke via Facebook “The first step to making the perfect pancake is getting the batter right," Chef Burke said. "The batter should be thick to start with, but if need be you can always thin it out slightly with a bit of milk — or even apple juice or orange juice for extra flavor. But it should never be too thin, otherwise the pancake comes out like a crepe." David Burke's Tavern62 pancakes are made with almonds, blueberries, bananas, and passion fruit-maple syrup. SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER
