Troubleshooting Pancakes: How to Make the Perfect Pancakes


On a busy morning, pancakes are the perfect choice: they are easy, quick, and almost foolproof. But they are not quite foolproof. If your pancakes are not turning out not quite right, review these eight principles for great pancakes.


3. Get the batter the right consistency. The batter should be runny enough that it will spread on the griddle. If it is too runny, the pancakes will be crepe-like. If the batter is too thick, you'll be tempted to spread the batter with a spatula which should not be necessary. As you progress through the batch, the batter will tend to become thicker as the leavenings work. Add a little more water or milk as needed but remember to stir minimally.Then the piece that goes from the liner to the furnace needs to proceed through the thimble or hole between the wall and the chimney.With glove on, remove the liner from the packing materials and straighten it out.A rope several feet longer than the chimneyPaper towels to clean putty knifeBakers racks or open cupboards are too cluttered in most kitchens. If you are using it to store cookbooks, vary the heights of books with the tallest in the middle and avoid putting small books next to tall books. Removing the dust covers can often make the books look more appealing. You can also decorate the shelves with candles, family pictures, fancy bowls, baskets or pantry boxies in odd number groupings of 1, 3 or 5 pieces.

Baker's note: One of my granddaughters, Lily, loves chocolate pancakes with coconut cream syrup. (Who wouldn't?) When her mother makes these pancakes, she makes extra. She stacks the extra in a pancake and tortilla keeper and places the keeper in the refrigerator. When Lily gets home from school and needs a snack, her mother heats a couple in the microwave and serves them to her.
