Instructions

Notes
If the batter is too thick
If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk.
Use a nonstick pan
Using a nonstick pan not only stops the pancakes from sticking to the pan, but you can also reduce the amount of oil or butter needed, making it a lighter and healthier dish.
Avoid burning
Don't rush cooking these pancakes - these should be cooked over low heat.
Measuring the batter
To make 12 even-sized pancakes use a ¼ cup to measure the batter., but do not fill to the top. The batter level should be slightly below the top of the cup.
How to tell when a pancake is ready to flip?
A pancake is ready to flip when:
- Bubbles rise and start to form on the surface, and they will pop, creating little holes on top and
- The edges of the pancakes start to look dry and set.
