How Do You Flip Pancakes Without Messing Them Up?

• Using the Right type of pan: It’s best to use a non stick griddle or a good quality stainless steel pan.
• Grease the griddle: Spray the griddle with oil spray and Let the griddle heat up. The heat helps the pancake batter not stick.
• Timing: Flipping at the right time (which we will get to in a bit) also prevents pancakes from sticking.

• Don’t tip all the ingredients into the bowl at once.
• Don’t over mix your batter – use a whisk instead of a spoon.
• Let the batter rest before you start cooking.
• When making American pancakes, don’t forget the baking powder.
• Make sure you’re using the right pan.
• If you fry the pancakes in butter, they’re more likely to burn.
• Don’t overcook your pancakes.
