Tips for the best pancakes
- Measure ingredients carefully.
- Don't overbeat the batter. Follow the recipe instructions carefully. If you have time, refrigerate the batter for 30 minutes before you start cooking the pancakes.
- Heat the griddle until drops of water dance and evaporate immediately. If your griddle has a temperature control, heat it to 375˚F (190˚C).
- Lightly grease the griddle.
- Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the hot griddle. Pour quickly!
- Let the pancakes cook until the edges start to look dry and bubbles form on the uncooked surface. Don't move the pancakes before this, because they will just break apart.
- Use a long handled spatula and carefully slide it under the pancake. Using your wrist, quickly flip the pancake.
- Let the pancake cook for another minute or two. The second side will not brown as evenly or completely as the first.
- Serve the pancakes immediately! It's better if you can stand by the stove and make the pancakes as your family eats them. They can be kept warm in a 200˚F oven, but they're best eaten right out of the pan.
