Hi Karl, if the butter was really hot when combined with the cold milk and egg mixture, it may have formed clumps as a result of cooking too quickly. Additionally, the almond milk may react differently compared to regular milk (which is slightly acidic), when mixed with baking powder, so maybe it didn’t rise quite as well as a result of that.

We followed the recipe exactly *except* we used almond milk instead of milk milk. We also heated the butter. The result was very thin pancakes dotted with congealed butter. The blueberries were much taller than the pancakes. I have to say they were delicious but they did look funny. Wondering if it’s because of the milk substitution or something else we did?
