It's not that hard to bake pancakes. The main thing is that everything goes smoothly from the start. Sometimes pancakes break, stick to the pan, or are not as thin as you'd like.

In general, there are many more mistakes with pancakes. We will tell you about them, and at the same time about how to save pancakes.

Pancakes stick

It is best to bake in a special pancake pan or cast iron - it retains heat better, thanks to which the pancakes are baked evenly.

The pancakes are tearing

The protein content in pancake flour should not be more than 10 grams. Otherwise, the pancakes will be dense and inelastic.

The pancakes are burning

Most likely, too much flour was added to the dough. Then the dough may burn in one place, but remain raw in another.

The pancakes are puffing up

This happens when there is not enough flour in the dough. If pancakes on yeast dough puff up, then most likely it has not stood.

Dry pancakes

This is how thin pancakes are made on sugar-free dough. You will have to mix them with kefir or sour milk, but then the pancakes will be thick.

Rubber pancakes

It is recommended to take 3-4 eggs per liter of milk or other liquid. The same can happen if a lot of vegetable oil is added to the dough.

The pancakes are hard

This happens when the dough is kneaded for a long time or has stood for a long time before you start baking the pancakes.
