Pancakes are made of white floors so they are high in carbohydrates, making them a bad choice for diabetics. Pancakes are usually loaded with more unhealthy toppings such as sugary syrup and saturated fat butter. Sugar and saturated fat in combination make the blood sugar spike last longer.

Why Is The First Pancake Always Bad?

We have all spent our lives accepting the fact that the first pancake cooked is always the one that nobody wants. But why is this? And what can we do about it?

Because pancake mixture contains egg, it is not recommended that you eat it unless it is cooked all the way through.

A perfectly cooked pancake is a thing of beauty! But, if you’ve never cooked one then how do you know it is done?

First of all, check your pancake mixture. This should be quite thin; slightly thicker than milk but still pourable.

What happens when you ladle pancake batter onto a warm pan?

When you ladle cold pancake batter onto a warm pan, the pan’s temperature drops, which most of us don’t consider when we’re hangry and all too ready for breakfast. We flip too soon, and — FAIL!

Instead, let the pan warm up, then spread a little butter or oil on it, using a paper towel to wipe off most of the excess. You’re seasoning the pan, just like you would a cast iron skillet, so that first pancake doesn’t stick or sop up all that fat. (IHOP uses extra-long griddles in its 1,700 restaurants to cook pancakes; for the rest of us mere mortals, a nonstick pan will do.)
