Properly cooked pancakes will not tear during frying: in most cases, this indicates that the proportions were not observed.

Some errors can be corrected immediately.

However, it is better to take note of some shortcomings for next time.

Why do pancakes break?

Lack of flour

With this approach, the pancake batter turns out too liquid and does not resemble sour cream at all. Such pancakes not only tear, but also are impossible to turn over during cooking.

If you notice that the dough is too runny, just add more flour. Sometimes, just a couple of spoons are not enough to fix the situation.

Lack of eggs

As a rule, one large egg is enough for a serving of eggs. If the product is small, then it is worth taking two eggs at once.

If this is not done, the consistency of the dough will not be uniform.

But you don’t need to add too many chicken eggs, otherwise the dish will turn out hard.

Temperature of products

Experienced housewives know that all products stored in the refrigerator must have time to warm up to room temperature before being added to the dough.

If the pancakes break, the eggs or milk were too cold.
