●If you want equal size pancakes, measure the mixture you use per pancake

How and when to flip pancakes

You can flip your pancakes by using a spatula or the pan when making pancakes.

How to flip using a spatula

It’s easier to use a spatula for flipping if the skillet you are using is heavy.

Once the edges turn brown with bubbles on top, your pancake is ready for a flip.

Reduce the heat to continue cooking your pancakes; too much heat will leave the middle part uncooked.

Lift the pancake to check if the bottom is cooked before flipping; alternatively, shake the pan to see if the pancake moves around and flip if it does.

You can then slide a spatula under the pancake before flipping.

Don’t flip too high or hold for too long to avoid breakage.

Once cooked, flip only once with a quick motion.

How to flip using a pan

For this method, use a light pan to make it easier to flip the pancakes.

After pouring the batter, wait a few minutes, then shake your pan to see if the pancake moves around; that’s an indication that the pancake is ready to flip.

You can also use a spoon or a fork and lightly lift to see if the pancakes are ready to flip.

Flip the pancake by quickly lifting your pan upwards.

Each side of the pancake should cook once.

Flipping several times will make tough pancakes, and you do not want to go that route.
