They will become "tough" and not the tender, light texture they should
be. It's the same for waffles. Hubby ordered pancakes at a restaurant
recently and couldn't even cut through them with his fork to eat..they
were very firm, which is not the desirable results. I use a wire whip
and mix only until all the dry particles have disappeared, but is still
small lumps in the batter.
