How to Adjust Pancake Batter in the Thermomix
One of the advantages of making pancakes in the Thermomix is how easy it is to adjust the batter.
If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk and mix 5 seconds / speed 4
If the batter is too thin, add a tablespoon of flour and mix again
Thicker batter makes fluffy pancakes, while thinner batter creates a crêpe-style result.
