Why do pancakes stick to the pan: common cooking mistakes

If you mix the pancake batter incorrectly, you will have to guess for a long time what caused the trouble. Usually, housewives remember about the violation of technology only when they start baking pancakes.

The pancakes stubbornly refuse to leave the frying pan, they tear or “go lumpy,” as they say.

Let's figure out what could have caused this.

First of all, there is something wrong with the test.

When there is little milk or other liquid, or when there is too much flour, it is better not to start frying pancakes. In the first case, you need to add a little flour, in the second - liquid.

After this, the dough is mixed and left to stand for 10-15 minutes.

Secondly, you shouldn't use milk in its pure form.

It is advisable to dilute milk or kefir with water, preferably boiling water, this will make the pancakes lacy. Many people use mineral water.

Third, don't add too much sugar.

Once the sugar starts to melt in the pan, the pancakes will start to stick to the pan, burn on the bottom, and won’t even have time to bake on top.

Fourthly, it is better to buy a pancake pan

You can bake on a regular cast iron pan. But if you fried fish or meat before the pancakes, don't be lazy and wash the pan thoroughly.

Fifth, do not overheat the pan.

Actually, pouring the batter into a cold frying pan is not the best idea either. Wait until the frying pan is hot, then add a little oil, reduce the heat and pour in the batter.

By the way, you need to add oil not only to the frying pan, but also to the dough.
