Not everyone can make thin and tender pancakes.

Some newbies in cooking may complain that the dish turns out too tough and not very appetizing. The problem is in the mistakes made during the preparation of the dough.

Too many eggs

Some people think that it is better to add more eggs to the dough, believing that in this case the pancakes will definitely not fall apart in the frying pan. But it should be taken into account that it is the protein that makes the dish tougher. In addition, the taste of such a treat will be more reminiscent of an omelette.

No oil in the dough

Everyone knows that pancakes should be fried in oil. But many forget that they need to add a little of this ingredient to the dough itself.
