Every time.

Please help. Teach me how to perfectly cook pancakes so that this never happens again.

Wait tell your at leat ten years old before making a flajack.

You'll be fine after that OP

Only then, get a nonstick pan and put a light layer of real butter and cook on medium heat.

Make a crepe or a waffle or eat a cupcake for breakfast if you can't cook a pancake.

>smear that shit over the hot pan from the center to the sides (nigger this is important, also teflon pans are GOAT for this kind of shit)

Please tell me this is all a joke

This. The bubbles and lightening batter at the edges is a sure sign. How in the shit do you fuck up pancakes?

>> No.7600498

Even just using a teflon pan is sufficient.

I always skip the butter when I make pancakes. Is the butter just there to prevent sticking or to add flavor?

>> No.7600611

You simply need a new pan. I had this problem with omelettes a while back. Started to doubt my abilities and blame myself for the burntness scraping bits of egg away. Got a new pan and now perfect every time

>> No.7600636

>>7600498
both. it adds a nice crispy layer of buttery goodness to your pancake.
