Why pancakes burn and stick to the frying pan: the main mistake is named

An excessive love of sweets can lead inexperienced cooks astray when making pancakes.

Instead of an openwork and aromatic dish, you get a burnt and tearing mass.

To make sure everything goes smoothly next time, there's one important thing to remember. Sweet-toothed cooks miss this point.

Lots of milk and sugar

Wanting to make pancakes sweeter, cooks add more sugar and milk. Otherwise, the recipe remains the same.

This is what causes the pancakes to stick to the pan and break. If you want sweet pancakes, you need to add oil or dilute the dough with water.

Milk or kefir is diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio. It is better to add boiling water rather than cold liquid.

In this case, not only will they not burn or stick, but they will also turn out lacy, with beautiful edges.

The temperature of the frying pan also plays a role. Before pouring the dough, it needs to be heated. At the same time, a special frying pan heats up faster than a regular one.
