It seems that there is nothing complicated in making pancakes, because you just need to combine any flour with a simple set of products and turn this union into a ruddy treat.

But in practice, it turns out that everything is a little more complicated. Everyone wants to learn how to cook thin and delicate pancakes that will be snapped up hot.

To achieve perfection, you need to take into account a number of nuances.

Mistakes when making pancakes

1. The batter is too runny. The pancakes will tear and will not have the perfect shape.

2. Choosing the wrong pan. Some pans are not suitable for making pancakes, so make sure your pan is smooth enough and has no ridges.

3. Not enough flour. If you add too little of this product to the batter, the pancakes may turn out too tough and dense.

4. Incorrect heating temperature. Pancakes need to be cooked over medium heat so that they are evenly baked and do not burn.

5. Adding too many eggs. In this case, the dough becomes denser and “rubbery.” It does not spread well in the pan.

From personal experience, I can say that there are no special tricks in cooking: the more liquid the dough, the thinner the pancakes will be. But in this case, it is also important to adhere to certain limits, otherwise the treat will turn out too thin.

You can get an openwork version if you add some milk to the dough while it's still slightly hot.

Before pouring the first pancake, the frying pan needs to be thoroughly heated.
