Chef's Note
For the fluffiest pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter which can develop too much gluten. The key to these pancakes is freshly ground cardamom, which has a much more vibrant flavor than pre-ground. If you have cardamom pods, crack open about 20 pods, remove the seeds, and grind them in a spice grinder for the best flavor.
