Mix Pancake Batter into Your Omelet the IHOP Way

IHOP is famous for its crepes, but the breakfast chain also makes the most lavish omelets. Sure, mixing pancake batter with your omelette mix might seem a little weird, but we decided that if this is a trick that IHOP uses to make omelettes, we should give it a try. Since we were newbies (and you probably will be too), we made the filling simple by simply adding cheese (if you feel like it, try thyme leaves and shredded parmesan), focusing on making the puffiest omelette known to mankind. Adding pancake batter to the eggs adds sweetness, making the omelet both dense and airy at the same time. The buttermilk pancake mix worked for us and will increase the odds in your favor as well.Imitating omelet made from pancake batter IHOP
