Whenever I make pancakes I never get that nice brown color that you see at any restaurant.
What am I doing wrong here? Not enough heat? Not enough oil?
Never use oil with pancakes, always use butter.
Likely not enough heat. Crank it to medium high.
Is this a new troll trend? People saying their food is coming out like shit because they're cooking it on a low temperature?
You cooking surface should be just hot enough so that a drop of water will dance around on it, and you should use a thin swipe of butter, not oil.
Mine come out fine every day. Only use butter if you're not using a teflon pan. If teflon, heat on the lowest heat until the water dances on it, spoon batter down, one ladle-full does it for me, cook for 1 min, flip, cook for 1 min, plate it. Should be perfect on both sides.
What's wrong with using oil? I like how it makes pancakes slightly crisp.
