Can you make pancakes in an air fryer? I tried and it's quick and easy – but here's how it compares to stovetop

I live in a household of fluffy pancake lovers, and this Pancake Day, I checked to see if you can make them in the air fryer. The internet said yes, so I gave my usual recipe a whirl in my best air fryer and was impressed by how evenly cooked it ended up being.

I also tested the same batter the old-fashioned way in a pan on the stove-top and I have to say, those pan cooked ones definitely came out on top for taste and texture.
