Okay, when my youngest son, Brian had home economics class in fifth grade, his teacher's name was Mrs. Noakes. She said to gently tap the pan with the batter in it lightly on your countertop to get the air out of it and keep it spread in the pan nice and even. Sandy Hope this helps. As for the ingredients not being incorporated, I use a portable, hand held electric mixer.
