Questions I often get asked about this recipe:

Can I use a different type of flour?
While self-raising flour is ideal for this recipe due to its built-in leavening agents, you could experiment with other types. However, you might need to adjust the recipe or add additional baking powder or baking soda.

What if my ice cream is too hard?
Allow the ice cream to soften slightly before mixing it into the flour. If it’s still too hard, you can microwave it in short bursts until it’s pliable.

Can I add other ingredients to the batter?
Absolutely! You can experiment with different flavors by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, fruit, or nuts to the batter.

What are some good topping ideas?
Ice cream pancakes are incredibly versatile. Try topping them with maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, chocolate sauce, or even a drizzle of caramel.

Can I make these pancakes ahead of time?
It’s not recommended to make the batter ahead of time as the ice cream will melt. These pancakes are best made fresh.
