Over-mixing tightens the batter and diminishes the air bubbles (which determine the fluffiness). Ensure the batter has the right pourable consistency.

Experts suggest leaving the batter overnight to rest, or at least for 30 minutes. Remember to add baking powder to it for optimum rise.

Beat the yolk with the dry ingredients of the batter. Later, just before making the pancakes, add the egg whites to the batter and fold.

Do not flip the pancakes until you see a bubble on one side. Flip it carefully just once, using a spatula.
Keep the pan clean and dry every time you make pancakes. Any foreign elements or leftover ingredients sticking to the pan can ruin their taste and/or texture.
