How to cook delicious pancakes

Pan

Pancakes will burn if the pan is not well oiled.

The pancakes are poured only on a hot frying pan. If it is not heated enough, the pancakes will stick anyway.

Pancakes will definitely break and burn if the pan is not suitable for baking. If we talk about the ideal pan for baking pancakes, it should be cast iron or thick-walled, preferably with a non-stick coating.

Dough

If the dough is too runny, the pancakes will eventually stick and start to tear in the pan.

If the dough is too liquid, don't forget to add a few spoons of flour to bring it to the desired consistency.

Oil

The pancakes will not burn if you turn them over in a frying pan in time and add more oil. It is advisable to fry the pancakes in odorless vegetable oil.

The pancakes will turn out thin and lacy if you grease the frying pan with a piece of lard beforehand.
